Hi All,

When trying to create a connection to desktop from power automate I am encountering an issue.

Here are the steps I have made:

1. install pwatuomtae desktop

2. created desktop flow

3. created pw cloud flow

On the next step when I try to create a connection to desktop:

- ran power automate machine runtime and received the below error message:

Message = Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
Error = System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException
Full text = System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

What do i need to do in order to fix it?
