hello all, hope everyone is doing well during these times,

 

So I was working on a flow and one day the power automated throws the below error. I tried everything that I found relevant in this forum (even uninstalling and re-installing power automated multiple times) Just bought and subscribed to the individual plan in hopes of fixing the issue (I thought it involved with subscription and access) but still can't start power automated as am getting the following error;

    It can't access its configuration. Have you been using the free version with a personal Microsoft account (live.com). If yes, then there is something wrong with your OneDrive. Are you now using a school or work account? You might have to log out from PAD and login again with your new user credentials.

    I had to switch Regions away from Global to another specified region.  Your admin should know what region you should login into.
