Failed to assume control of Edge

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by karpagamg 4

Problem while executing action 'LaunchEdge'. Failed to assume control of Microsoft Edge (Communication with browser failed. Try reloading extension).

 

Previously, the flow was successful, but now it is failing. Here the browser is launched with a blank address. and after few retries it is failed.

    Did you tried with manually creating with new flow and did you upgraded your previous version.

     

    Install the latest version and upgrade your extension in edge.

     

    If works mark as solution and it will help others also

    I got the same problem.

     

    Power Automate Desktop updated to version: 2.31.114.23122 and it appears to me the extension is a version behind: 2.31.0.14 - wich cannot be updated.
