Getting as "An error occurred while starting the desktop flows agent." while running desktop flow in unattended mode

(0) ShareShare

Hi all,

 

I have a scheduled power automate cloud flow which runs a desktop flow in unattended mode provided with a machine connection.

Sometimes, the desktop flow throws "An error occurred while starting the desktop flows agent." error.

 

Can someone help me regarding this?

 

Thanks in advance.

    Very generic error, I've seen it before. My solution was to make in- and out-bound rules in windows. Turns out the clients network was blocking the process.

    Does it happen at specific times? With all the users?

     

    My suggestion would be fireing up wireshark. A program that sniffs the network traffic.
