Error - communication with cloud services

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by CD-03120916-0 2
Hello, 
when I try to open my Power Automate Desktop Flows I get this message saying " Power Automate error - An error occurred while communicating with the could services. Make sure that access to the required cloud services aren´t blocked and try again." 
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? It doesn´t even allow me to create new flows.
Thank you!

    Hi there,
     
    Ensure your machine is connected to the internet, and if it is, then verify the firewall settings to confirm nothing is blocking Power Automate services.
     
    Thanks,
