Posted on by paronchi 105

Hi, 

I work with windows 11 and power automate desktop, until thursday december 9th everything was working correctly, from friday 10th power automate desktop became very slow in automations with desktop applications. It takes over 2 minutes to perform an action and doesn't even time out. The system was not changed from Thursday to Friday. 
The processes, tested on Windows 10 work correctly

Any suggestions?

 

thank's

 

Windows 11 Pro 21H2

    Hello @paronchi !

     

    May I ask if you performed any change to Power Automate for desktop before you noticed the performance issue?

     

    Since today, the new release of Power Automate for desktop is available, I would recommend to upgrade.

    I haven't changed anything in PAD, I've also updated, as per your suggestion, but nothing has changed. However, I noticed one thing, after a random delta T, which can go from 1 hour and N hours of turning on the PC, everything starts working again 😅

    i installed a virtual machine with win 11 clean and all running.

    So the problem is definitely in which process it interferes with pda.

    But, which process can interfere or how can i find out?

    Hi, did you get anywhere with this? Experiencing same issues. Screen flickers/refreshes in between each step when interacting with desktop legacy application. It's unbearably slow and also windows within the application sometimes disappear where the screen refreshes / re-renders in between steps. I'd be grateful for any ideas?
