Problems with Web Automation after installing PAD 2.44.46 and 2.45

Hi Community

I am experiencing issues with WebAutomation in Microsoft Edge and Chrome after installing v. 2.44.46, and also after updating to 2.45.
The error code i'm getting is
"Problem while executing action 'LaunchEdgeCloseDialog'. Failed to communicate with web browser because it uses different version of web extension message host than Power Automate."


No other version of the Web Extension is available. I have already tried removing and installing the extension again.

The problem only persists when doing unattended RPA, and not while performing attended RPA.

Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

    Hi @Ralle422 

     

    Pls check version of PAD installed from control panel -> programs & features tab. It might be the case that machine has 2 versions of PAD installed (one from Microsoft store and another by installer). You may try uninstalling PAD, restart machine and then reinstall it. Post reinstalling, pls make sure to add browser extension for running the PAD for web automation.
