I want to run a Power Automate Desktop flow automatically

power automate desktop의 흐름을 작업스케줄러로 자동으로 동작시키거나 또는 바탕화면의 바로가기로 실행시키고 싶은데요.
power automate desktop에서 office 365 outlook 흐름을 추가하면 아래와 같이 '이 흐름은 다음 커넥터에 대한 연결을 사용합니다, 녹색 확인 표시는 시작할 준비가 되었음을 의미합니다'라는 메시지가 뜨고, 확인을 눌러야 진행이 됩니다. 이는 완전히 자동화가 안된다는 것을 의미합니다 해결 방법이 있을까요?
 
[English]
I want to run a Power Automate Desktop flow automatically either through the Task Scheduler or by clicking a desktop shortcut.
However, when I add an Office 365 Outlook action inside the Power Automate Desktop flow, I get the following message:

“This flow uses connections for the following connectors. A green check mark means it’s ready to go.”

The flow will not continue unless I manually click Confirm.
This means the automation is not completely hands‑free.
Is there any solution to this issue?

    Hi there!
     
    I can't see your attachment right now but wanted to reply.  You cannot use task scheduler for power automate desktop flows.  If you want to fully automate a desktop flow, use a cloud flow with a scheduled trigger and you can launch your desktop flow unattended on a virtual machine.
     
    Give this a try and let us know if it worked for you!

    Check below link to configure for Task scheduler, but this will work when you don't have UI automations and also having attended license comes with some limitations like you need not to disconnect / lock your PC/VM, for seemlessly to run the automation you need to have unattended license
