How to auto start Power Automate Desktop automations?

I'm using a premium Power Automate Desktop with multiple automations and I want them to automatically run upon PC start-up without manually opening the Power Automate Desktop app and click the play button.

 

I'm also thinking of using a command line bat file instead of PC start-up, but I'm not sure which commands to add. Any help would do. Thank you so much.

    Hi @fiendfyre 

     

    Same answer as in the other post :).

     

    Doesn't look like PAD has an option to run at Windows boot up and via command line or batch file.

     

    Here you can upvote the idea for scheduling a desktop flow which also talks about command line and powershell.

    Schedule Power Automate Desktop from within Window... - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)
