Hello,

I am using Power Automate Desktop to automate a flow that sends keystrokes to an application. The flow works perfectly when I'm connected to my machine via Remote Desktop. However, when I disconnect the Remote Desktop session, I encounter the error:

"There isn't an active application to send keystrokes to."

You can't disconnect from the workstation if you are running an attended flow run. That will interrupt the flow.

You need to either run it attended and not disconnect/log out from the user session or run it unattended. With unattended you need Power Automate Process license and start the flow from the cloud.
