Sign in to Power Automate Desktop in background without opening the app.

As per our requirements we want power automate desktop to sign-in in the background without opening the application. Is it possible to do so?

    We possess Microsoft documentation detailing silent Power Automate Desktop (PAD) installation and machine registration, yet there's currently no documentation available for silent sign-in.

     

    However, I've heard it's achievable by reaching out to Microsoft, where they can provide scripts to facilitate the process.

    As per my understanding, you are trying to run PAD process in background so that it won't interfere with your work.

     

    For this there are 2 options:
    1. Use Power automate process (unattended) license and use a dedicated machine.

    2. If you want to use Power automate premium (attended) license, use PIP mode where still it runs in foreground but in a separate window where you can keep doing your work.

     

    If it works for you, kindly mark it as a solution.
