Constantly asking to Sign In

Posted on by Testbot2 2

Hi Community,

I have a power automate flow/desktop flow on a Virtual Machine  where I have it refreshing 10 excel files. 
I programed the Flow to do the following ( See screen shot #1)

- open up the excel file 

- Click the data tab

- Click the refresh all button

- Close the app

The issue I'm having is that its asking me to sign in after each file.( See screen shot #2)

Has anyone experienced this issue?
