    You either have to install Power Automate Desktop to that vmware horizon machine and create/run the flows from there
    OR

    You have to set up Power Automate agent for virtual desktops.
    Video to demonstrate it would work:

    Hi @shod90 ,

     

    You have to install Power automate inside VM, because it will be allow to select due to ui flow service not able to detect.

    As @eetuRobo rightly pointed out, install power Automate agent for virtual desktops and try to automate your use case in your vmware horizon.
