Posted on by drazhargraig

l, just started my first foray into PowerAutomate Desktop with the Free Edition. One thing im trying to replace is my super bat file that launches all of the apps that I want launched when I login.

While i can right click on the taskbar icon and execute the flow from there, for academic reasons i would like to figure out how to trigger the Flow when a user successfully logs in.

My environment is very simple, PC with the Power Automate Desktop (Preview) installed. Nothing else. Thank you in advance

Currently, you can only trigger a desktop flow from a cloud flow: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Ideas/Schedule-Power-Automate-Desktop-from-within-Windows-10/idi-p/847797

Interested in this as well. Luckily this is the third time trying to write this freaking message so please fix your forums microsoft.

Long story short, need to do the same thing where we want a process to kick off when a user logs in, and we have multiple users logging in at randoms times making it impossible to schedule using cloud flows. Only thing I can think of is having a login send an api call that kicks off a cloud flow that then starts the PAD process, but this seems like a backwards way.
