That setting is called "On startup" and the choices are OPEN NEW TAB, CONTINUE WHERE YOU LEFT OFF, or OPEN A SPECIFIC PAGE OR PAGES. There's a relevant setting with three options that also contributes to the precise state of the Edge browser as it relates to PAD launching Edge. THIS BREAKS THE FLOW, presumably because the Window Title changes depending on what tabs are open, even if the target URL is the open tab. Instead of a single Edge window with a single tab, we get whatever the last tab was + a new tab pointed at the target URL. But the situation changes if the VM has been rebooted without launching Edge. Everything works as expected in this case. If Edge has already been launched since last reboot, my flow conditionals are able to differentiate between the login page for the target URL and the target URL itself (in an already logged-in session). So here is my problem: depending on which state the VM is in when the flow is launched, the Window Title of the open Edge browser will change. This could be a blank new tab or it could be some other webpage. some other Edge windows are open or the current Edge window has some other tab open instead of the target URL. *Whether logged in or not, the target URL is not the current webpage. *Not logged in, but target URL was the last website open - In this case, launching Edge should take me to the login page for the target URL *Already logged in with an active website session for the target URL but Edge process not running (if for instance Edge has not been launched since last reboot of the Hyper-V VM in which I'm running PAD) - In this case, launching Edge and navigating to the target URL should take me to an active session without needing to login again *Already logged in with an active website session for the target URL and Edge Window is open (either minimized, restored, or maximized)
The reason is because there are multiple states for which this flow may run: But the logic for that is more complex than you might think at first glance. That's all I need this flow to do: KEEP ME LOGGED INTO THIS WEBSITE. With previous builds, I never had a problem getting my flow to open a particular webpage in Edge and keep it refreshed.
I have the latest versions of Power Automate Desktop (2.9) and Microsoft Edge (Version 90.0.818.56). Power Automate Desktop Fails in New Microsoft Edge Build Version 90.0.818.56 Due to Edge Window Title Changing Depending on Which Tabs Are OpenĪLL I WANT IS EDGE TO NEVER OPEN ANOTHER TAB BESIDES THE TARGET URL.
