Getting Issues while Running Power Automate Desktop flow in Unattended Mode

Posted on by DevanshRohilla

We are trying to Run a Power Automate Desktop Flow in Unattended Mode, but the Flow is getting issues on a particular action.

When we are running the same code in attended mode, it is running without any issues.

In unattended mode, an UI Element for wait window inside the Java Based Application is causing the issue where the bot stops on wait for window action randomly after working on few transactions.

We tried replacing this wait for window action with a loop to check if the required UI Element appears after the wait window is closed. In that logic also, the bot is not able to get out of the loop.

What might be causing this issue in Unattended Run mode?

Hi Devansh
I am assuming this is running on a VM (AWS?, Azure?, other?), If there is a gold image or server already created, have you checked Java is correctly configured as indicated in below article?

Hi @DevanshRohilla !

This could be an issue with resolution mode in unattended mode.

Refer to this solution in this post and see if this works: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Desktop/Unattended-mode-not-working/m-p/2594706#M36590

I hope this helps.

Hi Jeff
Yes, the flow is running in AWS VM. In this MS Documentation, it is written that "Java Access Bridge" should be disabled. It was disabled by default on the VM and once I tried running in unattended mode after enabling it.

After enabling it, the bot was not able to perform even on the Java elements on which it was working earlier.
So, I reverted back the changes and now it is still not able to work on any Java element in unattended mode.

What might have happened after enabling it that it is now not able to work on the elements on which it was able to work on earlier?

Hi @NathanAlvares24,

Thankyou for you help.
I already tried setting up the resolution from the config file for unattended mode. But it did not solve the issue.

Is there any other possible issue which might be the cause for it?

Something similar happened to me, after upgrading PAD to latest version Java stopped working. No single field/object was being recognized as selector. So, I made sure Java Bridge was disabled and ran this .exe as Administrator "C:\Program Files (x86)\Power Automate Desktop\PAD.Java.Installer.exe" then I restarted the VM and it worked again. Perhaps you can try that.
