Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hi everyone,

I have a PAD flow, when I click on the Run button, sometimes it show the error below:
Power Automate Flow failed Error in 'Main', action #xx 'Click UI element in window'

Even though it finds the UI element in window.
I tried to adjust the screen resolution used (following this topic https://community.powerplatform.com/forums/thread/details/?threadid=c543b115-6639-4618-8293-f2bea8a9b65d and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/how-to/set-screen-resolution-unattended-mode) but still get the same error sometimes
If I click on the Edit button then run the flow, it works fine without any issues.

Do you know how to fix in this case?
Thank you so much for your helping.

When you run the flow from the Power Automate Desktop application its always Attended mode. So your flow is not running Unattended in this case. Unattended means that you are not logged into the computer while the flow runs so you will not be able to see what is happening in real time.

So the resolution should not be an issue since its the same as when you run in in Edit window when it works fine.

I think the flow just cant find the UI element. Does you flow have any "Wait for window content" -actions? The flow runs much faster when you run it from the main window (without Edit window open). So it might be that your UI elements doesn't have enough time to load and that's why the flow fails to find the window.
