    This may not necessarily be related to specifically using the Agent, but may also be related to the application itself. What sort of an application are you trying to automate? Are you able to test the same app on a local desktop?

    Well, as you can see on the pop-up, the Agent for Virtual Desktops does not support web automation.

     

    Is it possible for you to do the web part of your flow via your local desktop instead?

    Hi

    I want To do All Automation On RDP And   Browser Automation On RDP System 

    Not Local System 

    When I try To Capture Element But Its Capture Only Top Header Element Not Particular Field element

     

    Its Showing Again Such Pop Up With Message ,  I have Provided This Message Below One -->

     

    Web automation isn't available through the Power Automate agent for virtual desktops. For flows involving browser automation, use the UI automation actions or alternative ways of automation.

    Well, as the popup describes it quite stratightforward, the agent for virtual desktops does not support web automation. You cannot do web automation via RDP.

     

    My suggestion would be that you do move the web part to your local desktop, if you can do that.

     

    Alternatively, you can try to install the full PAD package on the virtual machine and run the whole flow there, if you are allowed to do that.

     

    If neither of those is an option, you will need to resort to sending mouse clicks, keystrokes and using image recognition.

    Hi

    You Meant to say Capturing Element  Of Browser Automation As  Local System Is Not Possible On RDP System and browser automation is not possible on RDP System

    Yes, because local app elements do not work for web page automation, as the underlying selectors are different. And web automation actions are not supported via the agent for virtual desktops.
