Business value
Before this feature, if confidential data was visible on the screen while a desktop flow was running, a screenshot captured that data in case of a flow run failure, making it visible in the flow run details in the Power Automate portal. With the new machine registry entry, we enable admins to prevent Power Automate for desktop from capturing those screenshots and keep user data secure.
Feature details
Admins can use a machine registry entry to prevent Power Automate for desktop from capturing screenshots when a flow run fails. Now, confidential information won't be captured, saved in Dataverse, and be visible in the flow run details in the Power Automate portal. This registry key applies to local-attended, attended, and unattended flow runs.
