Greetings,
I have a power automate desktop flow running every 15 minutes on a remote machine. You could say that its attended.
Main issue is that it always return error after clicking ok setting a Sort Filter which leads to a URL redirection on a specific page. However, when I remote it using Anydesk the flow and site loads correctly and there's never any error. The next action would be Populate a textbox.
I did add, Take a Screenshot if error but it shows that the site is fully loaded(the browser refresh button is visible) but the page is blank.
I did almost everything to handles it such as:-
1. Give it a 30s wait then Wait for Web Page Content to load.
Result= Doesnt work, The flow recoginize this element exist but as I check the screenshot, the page is blank.
2. Go To Webpage (Refresh Web page) then Wait for Web Page Content to load.
Result=Doesnt work, The flow recoginize this element exist but as I check the screenshot, the page is blank.
3, Relaunch browser using the Sorted setting URL then Wait for Web Page Content to load.
Result=2 out of 10 times it works, but in the end The flow recoginize this element exist but as I check the screenshot, the page is blank.
Can anyone help me on this ? any suggestions is appreciated. BTW, I cant provide the URL since its confidential
HI @RookAils1,
I got the issue what you are facing, if page is not loading fully it will be going to next actions, instead of that try with contains text, because contains will work once page loads fully.
If I have answered your question, please mark it as the preferred solution. If you like my response, please give it a Thumbs Up.

Hi @RookAils1 ,
Just try with the Microsoft Edge browser and instead of Populate Text Field on webpage action use " Send Keys" action.
(Note:- if you got your solution you can mark as solution and gives kudos)
Thanks & Regards

Ah okay!! Got it.
Have you attempted to switch browsers and observe the behavior on another browser? Alternatively, have you tried running the same flow on a different machine?
Please create a test flow where you involve another browser, such as Microsoft Edge. Then, utilize the "click on web page" action to observe how it functions.

This is the screenshot of the site upon the flow hitting an error.
I recorded the error logs, so here it is:
"Form field with selector 'div[Id="tbTL_filter"] > label > input[Type="search"]' not found."
"Subflow: main, Action: 10, Action name: Populate text field on web page"
In the meantime, You can use the below options and see whether it resolves your issues.
1. Enable "Wait for page to load" flag in click link on web page action.
2. Use If web page contains and capture your UI element

Here are my flow basically. It could be that this is probably a browser issue but is the any plausible workaround for this ?
It appears you've already attempted various methods to resolve this issue.
Would it be feasible for you to share some screenshots of your flow, with sensitive data hidden, for further assistance?
