Hello 

How to prevent desktop from a sleep without changing the police? 

we have a flow interact with excel and chrome, but always goes to sleep mode.

    Hmmm... are you saying you are logged in to machine A and screen goes off during attended flow execution?

    That never happens to me.

     

    Or are you connected to machine A in a different way than logged in directly?

    Hi @HazemMsaleh 

     

    Are you running your flow as unattended?
