Power Automate can only operate with the first profile of Edge instance

Posted on by

I'm using multiple profiles in my daily life, and want to do some automation with my secondary account.

 

After trying several times in my physical machine and virtual machine, I found that Power Automate can only control the first profile. I'm using the following workflow for testing: attach to the foreground instance, and open microsoft.com.

On my secondary profile, it doesn't work as I haven't focus any Edge window. Once I ensure the extension is on secondary profile and delete the first profile (in VM of course), it immediately works on the secondary profile.

 

A side-by-side installed Insider version of Edge can be controled by Power Automate, but also limited to the first profile.

 

Versions used:

Power Automate 2.31.00119.23122

Edge 113.0.1774.35

Edge Insider Dev 115.0.1843.0

Windows 11 22621.1702
