    You need a paid license of Power Automate Desktop (the Power Automate Per user plan with attended RPA that costs $40/month) to be able to run flows automatically based on schedules or triggers.

     

    When you have that, you can build a cloud flow that runs on a recurring schedule or use the Windows Task Scheduler to run your desktop flow. 

     

    See this article on building a recurring schedule: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/run-scheduled-tasks

    You would then use the Run a flow built with Power Automate for desktop action in the cloud flow to run your desktop flow.

    See this video that covers the Windows Task Scheduler approach: https://youtu.be/CN_tPdAEkTc (it also includes a guide on building a scheduled cloud flow).
