(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

We changed the microsoft password and since then we can no longer use power automtate desktop or run flows.
We have this error message when launching powerautomate desktop: an error occured while communicating with the cloud services . Make sure that access to the required cloud services aren't blocked and try again.
also knowing that we have a microsoft virtual machine.
we also have this error message on powerapss: One or more commands are not available due to the privileges you currently have for this environment.

Any help please?

    On June 20, 2022 I too received this message and can't sign in to Power Automate Desktop. There's no record of IT blocking my access to cloud services. Please help!

    @turfpro111 Could you please check this https://powerautomate.microsoft.com/en-au/blog/flow-microsoft-com-is-moving-to-make-powerautomate-com/

     

    You need to make sure firewall rules are updated or things might break.
