Power Automate Desktop Browser Extension not recognize by the App

Posted on by 13

I trying to use the extract data from website in Power Automate Desktop but it keep asking me this:

You need the Power Automate extension.

1. To use web automation in your flows, select 'Get Extension' to download and install the selected browser.

2.. After installing, be sure to enable the extension in the browser.

After 2x time re-install and uninstall it, Power Automate still doesn't recognize it and that happen with Chrome and Microsoft Edge. I also try a lot of different method from other thread like:
- Uninstall PDA, and its extension
- Check if it turns on
- Try firefox (it has been removed)
- ...

I have seen a lot of bad reviews on this extension by people who have the same problem as me but it still doesn't have any solid solution. Other computer work fine but not mine, we both use Windows 10 Pro.

Any solution would be a tremendous help to me. Thanks in advance

    Try emptying your browser cookies before installing extension. That might help.

    This solved the issue for me with latest win11, 2.27 and latest extension. Remove windows store version of PAD, install with MSI installer after.

     

    Try installing using MSI Installer
