Flow stuck on Machine assignment step

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by NBahmet 23

Hello,

I've been having an issue with Power Automate Desktop unattended flow runs for last couple of weeks. 

Sometimes flow will get stuck on "Machine assignment" step and will fail eventually.

To fix it I can just remote into computer that is supposed to run the flow via RDP and disconnect immediately after connection was made. 

I reinstalled Power Automate Desktop and it didn't fix the issue.

Please advise with the issue. Also please let me know if I need to provide more information.

Thank you.

    Hi @NBahmet 

     

    Check below post for your reference

    If this happens on any update or check that PAD services are running fine, If nothing works I suggest to raise a support with Microsoft
