I just downloaded Power Automate Desktop from office.com (which I was logged into) but when I start the app I am prompted to sign in. When I give my MS account email address (I am logged into MS right now) I am told that the email address doesn't exist.

I know this has to be something stupid, but it's asking me to log into my MS account, using details that work in a browser window, but it fails due to a non-existing email address.

I'm very confused and more than a little frustrated. What's going on?

Thanks for any help.
