After recently updating PAD in our development environment all of my automations with a 'Launch New Microsoft Edge' action are failing more than 90% of the time when they are ran unattended.
When using the launch mode 'launch new instance' it fails with the error:
Problem while executing action 'LaunchEdge'. Failed to assume control of Microsoft Edge (Communication with browser failed. Try reloading extension).
These are being run unattended on an Azure virtual machine running Windows 10.
I can log in to the machine and run the flows attended and they work just fine.
Originally, in all of the actions I had the 'Wait for page to load' options toggled on as I need to ensure the page is done loading before trying to interact with it further. I tried turning that off and it failed all the same.
In looking at the error detail the screen grab shows that the browser successfully launched and navigated to the initial URL, it just fails to be able to communicate with the browser.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the extension. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Power Automate Desktop.
Thankfully this is just our dev environment but it is very frustrating. I think the most maddening aspect of it is that this is NOT occurring 100% of the time when running unattended, only like 90% of the time. I don't understand how it just works every so often?
