Hi,

My power automate script is working fine but whenever the PowerPoint is opening triggering from the script, suddenly it is opening two ppts. 

I have put onblockerror to finish the script. so sometimes suddenly PowerPoint got stuck so that time obviously the onblockerror is working.

I have office 365(recently got updated).

can anyone tell me why is this happening?

    Hi @rahul1231, if the "On block error" action is set to repeat the failed action or go to the beginning of the block, then the action that opens the PowerPoint would be repeated. If PowerPoint gets stuck and you don't want the flow to fail, then consider adding some Wait actions to wait for the PowerPoint to load.
