I would then suggest contacting your IT admin, if this is a work/school machine. Give them the error and tell them to look into this.

This does not in any way, shape or form answer the question asked. As an administrator who is having the same issues with Power Automate on the desktop and is actively searching for a fix, please remove your answer as it does not help in any way.

After much research, the only fix I've found was completely uninstalling all Power Automate components including the updater and reinstalling using the MSI installer.
You may find it at the following link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/install
