Hi,
I want run test desktop flow in unattended mode. In the desktop flow I have only one action to run excel or to run web browser.
Desktop Flow:
I am running this flow through cloud flow using Hosted RPA bots:
Cloud Flow:
Hosted bots group is connected to Default Windows Image:
To run it in unattended mode:
1. I choose CTRL+ALT+delete, and then Sign Out
2. I send an email to bot's email box to trigger the flow
When in desktop flow I have actions responsible for running browser, excel, etc, it is failing with error:
Problem while executing action 'LaunchUnderExistingProcess'. Failed to open Excel document '' (Excel launching error).
Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.Modules.SDK.ActionException: Failed to open Excel document '' (Excel launching error). ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.

at Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.Robin.Engine.Execution.ActionRunner.Run(IActionStatement statement, Dictionary`2 inputArguments, Dictionary`2 outputArguments)
It is not failing if I leave in desktop flow action like for example Set Variable.
I have below licenses connected to the account from which the cloud flow runs:
1. Office365 E5
2. Power Automate Per User with Attended RPA
3. Unattended add-on is connected to the environment
4. Azure Basic subscription
Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem?
Thank you in advance
