Suggested Answer: B,C,F Vote an answer
Power Automate Desktop flow automates legacy, modern desktop, and web applications processes.
There are two types of Desktop flows automation: the windows desktop and the web application.
The Desktop flow runs only on Windows-based machines. The device needs to run Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, or 2019. You can create a Desktop flow using Power Automate Desktop or alternative solutions involving Windows recorder and Selenium IDE.
When you automate the Desktop flow execution using an instant flow, you need to connect your instant cloud flow with the Power Automate Desktop application running on the Windows-based device.
You can install an on-premises data gateway for this purpose. Or you can register your device as a Power Automate machine environment during Power Automate desktop installation. Both methods apply to trigger the desktop flow by a cloud flow, like instant (button), schedule, or business process flows.
Power Automate Desktop flow interacts with the application using its elements, images, and coordinates. It has two recorders to capture the users' application interaction: Web recorder and a Desktop recorder. Power Automate Desktop application uses a Web browser extension for the Web recording. You can download this extension for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox browsers.
