Problems with Power Automate Desktop flow editor

Posted on by CU18021517-0

Hello, I have the following problem with Power Automate Desktop: When I try to open a flow to edit, the window opens but stays blank (thumbnail view). I try to expand it but it doesn’t show anything. Does anyone know what could be the issue? The thing is, I can run the flow without any problems.

I also tried with a new flow or built-in example flows, but the window still doesn’t open. I should mention that I reinstalled the program...

I would appreciate it if someone could help me with this problem.

Hi,

The most likely root cause is that flow was created with a different version than the current version. Previously (and still occurs), sometimes you cannot open a flow that was created in a newer version that the current one. I suspect this is the root cause. You can run them (as you said) but editing is not possible.

The current version you are running probably isn't giving you the error message (yet), just showing a blank screen. I am going to try and duplicate tonight.
