Power Automate Desktop Direct Connection for machine runtime causing an "Cannot access closed pipe" error on registration

Hello,

 

I'm trying to replace my local gateway connection through the direct connection as the local gateway is deprecated now.

 

When configuring the environment on the local machine I get a loading symbol and after roughly a minute the following error appears:

When I look into the event log, there is the following error multiple times:

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? Am I missing a firewall configuration?

 

Thank you!

Best,

Marcel
