Long Time processes having a recent run issue

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Hi, I have recently started to get a new issue with long time running process. I think the issue is with the VM where the processes are run, but I am not sure.

 

It started in the past week, where the unattended process does not terminate its run once it has completed, thereby having to queue all the scheduled processes that trigger afterwards.

 

I've been getting around this issue by loading the VM's log in screen and restarting the VM once the unattended process has finished the run. Basically, the very last action of these processes is to send a process completion email, which is being sent. The issue is that the process stays running in the Desktop Flow activity page.

 

Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

 

As a side note, the previous week I was having another issue on the same VM, where PAD would not load, and the same long running processes were having an issue when using the Launch Chrome action, where the site's handle was not being seen as well.

 

The issue was fixed after checking the following support page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/power-automate/desktop-flows/troubleshoot#resolve-failed-connection-between-power-automate-components

(Uninstall either one of the two – either Power Automate (Microsoft Store installation) or Power Automate for desktop (MSI installation))
