Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hello,

Are you referring to Power Automate Desktop (RPA) flows or Power Automate cloud flows?

Have you logged into make.powerautomate.com to see if your desktop flows exist under Automate Desktop flow tab?

Also, please ensure that you are checking the correct environment.

And also see @thomas rice below response helps you to restore them:

Ensure you are signed into the correct account in Power Automate for Desktop.
- Open the PAD app.
- Click your profile icon (top-right corner).
- Verify the account details.
If you're signed in with the wrong account, sign out and log in with the account that has access to your workflows.

Since PAD stores workflows in OneDrive by default, there might be a syncing issue between the OneDrive folder and PAD.

Open OneDrive and verify that the workflows are in the correct Power Automate folder (usually under \Documents\Power Automate\).
Ensure OneDrive is running and syncing properly:
- Check the OneDrive icon in the system tray for any errors or paused syncs.
- Manually trigger a sync if necessary.
Restart PAD and check if the workflows appear.

If workflows are still missing, you can re-import them into PAD.

Open the PAD app.
Click on "Import" from the main screen.
Navigate to your OneDrive folder containing the workflows:
- Default path: C:\Users\<YourUsername>\OneDrive\Documents\Power Automate\
Select the .fpr files (workflow files) and import them.

Outdated versions of Power Automate for Desktop might have compatibility issues.

If your OneDrive folder structure has changed, PAD might not recognize the new location.

Check your OneDrive folder location:
- Open OneDrive settings and find the current folder path under Account → Manage Backup.
Ensure that PAD is pointed to the correct OneDrive location:
- Open PAD → Settings → File Locations → Verify or update the location to match the current OneDrive path.

If the workflows were modified or corrupted, PAD might not recognize them.

Locate the .fpr files in your OneDrive folder.
Open the files in a text editor (they are JSON-based) to verify they contain valid data.
Try importing them again into PAD.
