    Hi Rebrew

     

    I am also having this same issue with Power Automate. We migrated from gateways to machines but now unable to run unattended flows. Soon after the flow starts this error message shows up and flow stops. 

     

    Did you have any luck finding a solution to this issue?

     

    Thanks in adnvace

    Hi Rebrew,

     

    I had a call with MS powerautomate support team and was able to resolve it.

    There is a file named Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Notifier.exe under the folder where you installed power automated. Generally on windows the path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Power Automate Desktop\

    I had to remove the file from this location. Basically, I just renamed it and voila! It works perfect now.

     

    I'd strongly recommend to take backup of this file prior to removing or renaming it. Let me know if it helped.

     

    Thanks
