I'm new to power automation. Can you help me how to use the free edition of Power Automate Desktop to run a macro at a scheduled time?
Steps:
Step 1: Open Excel from a LAN folder
2: press the Run button
3: close off Excel
Hi,A paid subscription is required to run desktop flows on a schedule.
I would suggest not using Power Automate for desktop, instead running the macro from, for example, VBScript using the Application.Run method.
This way can be executed from the task scheduler.

For free, Maybe you can try the schedule function in Windows OS.
Ceative a *.bat and write down the Macro link. Setup the time to run the Batch file.
