So I built this flow in Power Automate Desktop that stop working whenever the computer goes to sleep. Its on a work computer and i can't adjust the settings, so it goes to sleep in under 10 mins.

Is there a workaround to this through power automate? Like, is there something that i can add to the code after every loop to keep the computer active?

Hey.
Sounds like you're on a computer managed by some Group Policies that you can't change. A way around this is to have PAD open a program, interact with it briefly, and close it again every X minutes to keep it active 🙂

So like open Excel, write something in first cell, close excel again. Rinse repeat.

The "proper" way would probably be to contact your IT department and see if they can adjust the timer on the computer you are running your flows on.

Easiest way is that you can play video in Window Media Player and Turn Repeat On.

Hope this will help.
