Task Scheduler related questions on Power Automate Desktop

Posted on by yiyi 50

Hi community,

 

I am trying to set a schedule in "task scheduler" to run my scenario called "test" daily.

I am currently using the Power Automate Desktop free version.

 

I have read the following post and have done similar settings as indicated below. But the schedule is not working.

Can you tell if there are any possible errors in my settings?

    You can only schedule desktop flows (whether via the cloud portal or the Windows Task Scheduler) when you have a paid subscription that includes PAD. The free version of PAD does not support any kind of schedules or event-based triggers.
