Power Automate Desktop September 2023 Update Issue

Posted on by dlazic

Just today we updated PAD to 2.36.143.23271 version and can no longer open it. Worked fine just before the update today. We are getting the following error:

"Communication error: The connection between Power Automate components couldn't be established. A required named pipe is in use by another application. Contact your IT administrator."

Anyone else with this same issue?

It might be because you have two instances of PAD installed on your machine. See this article for reference on how to resolve it: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/troubleshoot#resolve-failed-connection-between-power-automate-components
