Attended bot in VM. Works when I launch it on my laptop but fails when someone else launches it on their laptop.

Hi guys, this is driving me crazy.

We have an attended bot that runs in a VM. When I log in the VM and I launch it, there is no errors. But when someone else, from their laptop, connects to the VM and then launches it, it always quickly fails at some UI action, giving the error: "Some simulated input commands were not sent successfully..."

Sometimes it simply "fails to take control of Chrome" when Im attaching to a new window. The thing is, some UI action makes the bot to fail after only a few minutes.

Edit: I connected to the second laptop via Anydesk and tried executing the bot, I can the bot can "Send keys" but the Mouse won't move to the selectors. I can test the selectors with PAD and they are ok, the mouse simply wont move. Any ideas?

@GinesCirera

The attended bot is triggered from the Power Automate Desktop tool or if it's being triggered by other users from a cloud flow?

Additionally, instruct other users to run Power Automate Desktop as an administrator and then execute your flow to see if it resolves the reported error.

We are triggering the flow via cloud. I can't believe I havent thought about running RDP as administrator... Thank you, I will check if it works
