I am working on a RPA using power automate desktop. There is an action to lunch new instance of power automate desktop. It is neither opening the instance nor throwing any error.

 

Kindly advise.

    There is a Microsoft Power Automate Desktop extension for chrome that is required.  Ensure it is downloaded and enabled.  You can download it here:
    https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/microsoft-power-automate/gjgfobnenmnljakmhboildkafdkicala?hl=en

     

    If you already have it, it would look like this:

    If it doesn't say "Remove from Chrome", you will have to download the extension.

     

    Best of luck!
