    I am getting the same error too.

    I can open power automate desktop but unable to edit ANY flow (Existing or create new flow).

    That error keeps popping up.

    Is that the same for you?

    Seems like some people are having that problem with the new 2.40 update. (https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Desktop/Unhandled-Error-Object-Reference-Not-set-to-an-Instance-of-an/m-p/2576010

    If you still have previous versions installation file you should roll back to it. If not either try to find one somewhere or contact Microsoft support.
