HI
last 17th December i Update my Laptop Windows update. Since from there browser extension is not working for any browser(chrome,edge).I did reinstall, clear cached & almost everything. Did anyone knows how to sort out this?
What version is your extension? I seem to remember having to install an updated extension a couple days ago.
Thanks for you Solution. But I used latest Extension.
I've posted about the same problem, after Win11 update it broke, updated to latest PAD and extension but still won't continue the flow after opening Edge.
In another forum post, Anders Jensen provided a work-around which worked for me.
Power Automate can't take control of the web brows... - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)
This work-around worked for me until a final resolution is presented
HI All,
Finally I found a Solution
Try to roll back your windows to last previous update which was working power automate properly.
To ensure that Microsoft Edge works as expected with Power Automate, disable running background apps when Microsoft Edge is closed.
To disable this option, go to Settings > System and disable Continue running background apps when Microsoft Edge is closed.
Make sure that developer mode is on by the extension.
I had previously disabled the background apps and had enabled dev mode and was still having the failure.
After reading your post this morning, I verified those two settings and tested my flow - it's now working!
Thanks, will monitor and see if it continues to work for me
For me, rolling back is just a temporary and possibly painful fix. See the other reply in this post by Beumas that mentioned fixes for Edge - turning on developer mode and disabling background processes
Didn't worked for me, Also while trying to create new flow it is asking to install extension again and again however it is already installed to latest version.
This solved the issue for me with latest win11, 2.27 and latest extension. Remove windows store version of PAD, install with MSI installer after.
Try installing using MSI Installerhttps://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/install

Don't waste your time on any troubleshooting tip if you are on Windows 11: Power Automate Desktop will NOT interact with ANY browser anymore.
Get your hands on a Windows 10 machine or install a Windows 10 VM, that's the only way to get it up and running again
