    I installed PAD from the MS Store, but my work Live account is working just fine this time around. No x86 PAD dir even exists for me. It's probably in Program Files\WindowsApps but I can't even read the dir on this login.

     

    TL;DR it works.

    Adding the following code just above the </runtime> in the following file resolved the issue for me. 

     

    File : C:\Program Files (x86)\Power Automate Desktop\PAD.Console.Host.exe.config

    1. Close the PowerAutoamte Desktop application completely, and quit from the notification pane as well.
    2. Open the NotePad with administrator rights
    3. From the Notepad, Open the file 'PAD.Console.Host.exe.config' from the above location
    4. Add the below code just above the </runtime> tag.
    5. Save the changes.
    6. Re-launch Power Automate Desktop and try sign in again. 
    <system.net>
    <defaultProxy enabled="true" useDefaultCredentials="true">
    <proxy usesystemdefault="True" />
    </defaultProxy>
    </system.net>

    Good Luck !!

    My knowledge of this is extremely limited but i do know that MS support thought that the issue was due to my organization not having things on this list whitelisted.  That is really all I know.  IP address configuration - Power Automate | Microsoft Docs

    This didn't work. I'm not configured to use a proxy anyway. I added the content to 2 places in the file (under

    <configuration>

    and after the last line). I had to copy the file from elsewhere to get it to save right. Trying on my cell phone internet didn't work, since my phone has no service in the office that isn't on wifi. Any more ideas?

    I was debating on whether or not I should because I don't know if this will work for everyone.  This is how we got it to work in our specific network setup.  I don't know how universal this is but it's worth a shot.

     

    Add the following text in PAD.Designer.Host.exe.config file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Power Automate Desktop


    <system.net>
    <defaultProxy enabled="true" useDefaultCredentials="true">
    <proxy usesystemdefault="True" />
    </defaultProxy>
    </system.net>

    I tried with my home network.

    I don't think there is no particular firewall other than Windows 10 security setting.

    That was the issue.  MS provided some code to add to a config file to get around it.
