Every time run My Desktop Stream need to wait for it to download

Posted on by 4

I am a student and recently started to try to use Power Automate Desktop Edition in Windows to do some repetitive operations instead of me and got very good results, already with the latest version.
However, as I used it more and more, I gradually found some problems, sometimes it takes a long time to start running a stream, and it even fails to run at the end. I found that when I run my stream, Power Automate always needs to download the stream from the cloud and then run it (the status bar column will show downloading), however, because of the special network environment in China, the communication with Microsoft server is not always fast or even fails, which leads to the above situation.
So I would like to know if there is a way to make Power Automate run the stream without downloading? (Why does it need to do a download from the server? I didn't even modify the stream) because my stream has a lot of nesting directly, and each download greatly reduces the efficiency of the run or even fails outright.
I would be grateful if you could help me.

    Scripts are kept in the cloud, and needs to be downloadet to run.

    You must have an extreamly poor connection if you see these kind of problems.

    Hello, i have exactly the same problem, and my connection is via Starlink hence fast enough.. Takes ages (4 / 5 minutes) to download a very simple stream

    This is not important only in Your case of testing and playing with world. At real workplace this is silly and nonsense for application to behave like this. Downloading everytime same b.s. What about cache memory? Version checking and runing from Cache Buffer.  Almost all compeeting applications understand this and why msoft  jokelopers can not understand needs of customers?
