My colleague has issues with registering her PC as a machine. We don't have admin rights but I have PAD installed correctly and working but she is getting this error:

 

How do we fix this?

    Even if it was related, we don't have access to change trust settings.

     

    I think the issue is the installer is broken, need to download a newer version and install because if you search this forum other users have had the same issue: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Desktop/Problem-registering-a-machine/m-p/1733114#M17383
