    I understand, but they are not the same tools and they do not do the same thing. Power Automate web is for business process automation using things like pre-built APIs. 

    Power Automate Desktop isn't just a desktop version of Power Automate - it is a totally different tool, for robotic process automation - things like sending keystrokes, mouse clicks, launching browsers, etc.

    Thank you @Rhiassuring but I actually prefer using the PA web version, do you have any idea how to launch chrome/internet browser in the web version? Many thanks!

    Hi there, 

    It looks like you're in regular Power Automate ... you'd want to do this in Power Automate Desktop. 

    Then you can just use Launch Browser and enter the URL right there. This action you're looking at is third party.

    You need to install Power Automate Desktop: 

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/install

    If you want to use an Attended flow (ie, you click "start", it starts, and uses your computer), it's part of your current license. If you want it scheduled (ie, you put it on a VM, and it triggers or is scheduled), then it's premium.

    Check out the "Power Automate Desktop" forum for info around it, if you're curious.

    This is what I have tried, but I'm not sure what to fill up for the blanks.
