Version mismatch PAD and Machine Runtime

Has anyone else run into a Power Automate Desktop / Machine Runtime version mismatch recently?

I’m currently seeing the following setup:

  • Power Automate Desktop (Microsoft Store): 2.70.187.26189
  • Power Automate Machine Runtime: 2.71.115.26224
  • Microsoft Power Automate Edge extension: 2.70.0.35

My local desktop flow can sometimes launch Edge successfully, but when the same desktop flow is triggered from a cloud flow, browser automation fails with errors like:

WebExtensionHostIncompatibleException

and:

The version of Power Automate for desktop app installed through the Microsoft app store on your machine is different from the version of Power Automate for desktop machine runtime installed through the Power Automate for desktop executable installer.

The cloud-triggered flow opens Edge, but it stays on about:blank and PAD cannot take control of the browser.

I already tried:

  • reinstalling the Power Automate Edge extension
  • restarting Edge and PAD
  • restarting the machine
  • testing with a minimal desktop flow
  • testing the same minimal desktop flow through a cloud flow

The local test can work, but the cloud-triggered test still fails.

The strange part is that the Machine Runtime is already on 2.71, while PAD from the Microsoft Store is still on 2.70, so I currently can’t get both components onto the same version.

Is anyone else seeing this right now? Did your Machine Runtime update ahead of PAD as well?

If so, did you solve it by downgrading the Machine Runtime, switching away from the Store version of PAD, or just waiting for the next PAD release?

Hi y’all,

I’m currently automating a workflow at work using Power Automate (from application form to invoice generation).

In the Jotform, users are required to upload a PDF file. My goal is to automatically retrieve that uploaded file and store it in a specific folder together with the generated documents.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  • Using the Jotform API, I can retrieve all form data successfully
  • The file upload field only returns a URL like: https://www.jotform.com/uploads/...
  • Trying to download that URL via HTTP (Power Automate) results in a redirect to the Jotform login page
  • The API response does not include a file_id or a direct downloadable endpoint
  • Exporting the full submission as a PDF works, but the uploaded file is not embedded as an attachment (only shown as a link)

What I’m trying to achieve:

Automatically download the uploaded file (PDF) via Power Automate and save it alongside other generated documents.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
