Hi,
How to change environment in power automate desktop?
You can directly change it from the start screen of the console.
Left icon next to Settings: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/%5Cmedia%5Ccreate-flow-console%5Cconsole.png
I'm using free version ( part of Windows 10 as per latest MS Ignite), so i'm not using any license. I want to use attended flows only.
The free version is not connected to the Power Platform cloud environment as it stores all flows within OneDrive: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/getting-started-msa
but i'm getting error like this . There was some flows running, suddenly disappeared all & unable to create new.
as below error.
Then you have logged in with a school or work account instead of a personal Microsoft account.
Differences explained here:

Yes I'm using work account where also it is free to use PAD. "Using Power Automate Desktop with a work or school account is available at no additional cost.".
If you don't have the permission within your work environment, then you can't use it with your work account and need to use a personal Microsoft account or ask your admin to enable it for you!
Thanks for the continuous support. I have permission, and I'm using many cloud flows. And desktop flows only disappeared
Then you should have the button to change environments or need to logout from PAD and login with the right credentials.
