Hi There: I tried uninstalling power desktop and reinstalling.  Running windows 11.

 

Keep getting this error:

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

    Hi,

     

    It doesen't appear that PAD supports Windows 11 yet as per the system requirments: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/setup

     

    So unfortunately you will have to wait it seems. I would imagine that even if you get it workign vi a a work around, it can't be relied upon as it's not a supported system so it may be a headache you don't need.

     

    I would recommend using it on a Win 10 Vm if you cant downgrade to Win 10.
