I created a workflow in Power Automate Desktop that I want to schedule to run on a weekly basis to clear Microsoft Edge History and Cookies. However, I don't see any options to schedule the flow to run automatically using a specified frequency.

Hi @Anonymous

In order to schedule a Desktop Flow you will need a premium license.

Another option is to have a scheduled Cloud Flow and call the Desktop Flow but even that requires a license.

If you want to go with options other than PAD then see if you can find some Powershell, python, vbscript code which you can then add it to the Windows Task Scheduler.

Or don't even need an automation if you choose this manual setting

Thanks for some reason i thought power automate license was part of my office 365 subscription. It shows up in my office online apps and it looks like i’m able to use it, but for some reason in the cloud app when i clicked on desktop flows, the desktop flow i built wasn’t showing up

You might have free power automate license as part of the 365 licenses, and you should see your desktop flows in the portal if you logged in with the same credentials and are looking in the same environment where you created those flows in your PAD.
