    Hi @jskang1 

     

    With attended RPA, humans initiate tasks or respond to specific prompts—like providing a yes/no response. 

    When you create UI flows, you run them either in attended or unattended mode. Unattended is best for applications that do not need human supervision. When running unattended, UI flows automatically signs into the target devices that run Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, or Windows Server 2019. Once the automation completes, UI flows signs out from the device and reports its activity in Power Automate.

    When running attended, UI flows will use an existing Windows user session.

     

    Recently Microsoft announced part of Windows 10 Operating System Power Automate Desktop is available without paying any extra fee. Microsoft calls its “attended Robotic Process Automation” solution. 

     

    My understanding is if you are paying for a license version of Power Automate Desktop you will have more features compared to free version. But that will be attended RPA. If you want to use the unattended RPA then you have to pay for another license. 

     

    Overall attended RPA is the default and if you pay for the higher fee you can get unattended RPA features.
