How to auto start Power Automate Desktop automations?

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I'm using a premium Power Automate Desktop with multiple automations and I want them to automatically run upon PC start-up without manually opening the Power Automate Desktop app and click the play button.

I'm also thinking of using a command line bat file instead of PC start-up, but I'm not sure which commands to add. Any help would do. Thank you so much.

Hi @Anonymous

Doesn't look like PAD has an option to run at Windows boot up and via command line or batch file.

Here you can upvote the idea for scheduling a desktop flow which also talks about command line and powershell.

Thank you. I tried the first link that you sent. I have one concern though:

I have multiple desktop automations and now they're starting too slow. 20 minutes have passed by, yet I still have few automation left uninitialized. Have you experienced the same thing?
