Posted on by thalankibabu200

Launching a Desktop application from PowerAutomate is throwing Access Violation at Address 0040AADC in module 'ABCDEF.EXE'. Read of Address 00000000 error. 

 

Proceeding with OK will pop-up the error message continuously for 6 to 7 times. This is also happening everytime there is an interaction with any element in the application.

 

PowerAutomate is launched as Admin.
