Unattended Flow

Posted on by User1238 2

I want to run an unattended flow on a remote machine that other employees can also use. I am currently getting the following error: Action 'Run_a_flow_built_with_Power_Automate_for_desktop ' failed: No machine able to run the desktop flow has been found. Aborting execution. Error encountered when connecting to machines: There is a user session on the target machine. Cannot execute unattended desktop flow. Any suggestions on how to work through this?

    Hi @User1238 

     

    There is an active user session on that machine due to which unattended mode did not run. Please take remote of that machine & signoff any active user session. Post signing out active user session on machine, just trigger the cloud flow to run desktop flow in unattended mode.

     

     

     

     

    If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.
