Error code	HTTP status code	Run mode	Mitigation steps
UnsupportedRpaScriptSchemaVersion	400	Attended Unattended	The selected flow was issued by a later version of Power Automate for desktop. You'll need to install the latest version of Power Automate for desktop on your machine.
InvalidUIFlowsCertificates	401	Attended Unattended	You'll need to install the latest version of desktop flows on your machine as the security certificate of the desktop flows app has expired.
WindowsIdentityIncorrect	401	Attended Unattended	Check that you can sign in to the machine using the connection credentials. Below are supported format: - domain\username -> domain account (domain and Microsoft Entra ID) - username@domain... -> Microsoft Entra account - username -> local account - machine name\username -> local account - local\username -> local account - .\username -> local account
NoUnlockedActiveSessionForAttended	400	Attended	Check that you're logged in with the correct user and that the session is unlocked on the machine. For more information about this error code, see NoUnlockedActiveSessionForAttended.
SessionCreationError	400	Unattended	Check requirements for unattended scenario: - The user specified in your connection is a member of the Remote Desktop Users group. - Remote Desktop is enabled on the computer.
SessionCreationWinLogonFailure	400	Unattended	We can't create a Windows session to run your unattended desktop flow. You need to restart your machine.
SessionExistsForTheUserWhenUnattended	400	Unattended	Check that you aren't logged in with the same user (regardless of the state of the session) on the machine. For more information about this error code, see SessionExistsForTheUserWhenUnattended.
TooManyActiveSessions	400	Unattended	Windows Server only. You need to sign out at least one active session on the machine.
ExistingRecordingSession	400	Local	Windows Server only. Check that there's no other user connected to the machine launching a recording or a test playback.
LocalPlaybackOrRecordingOngoing	429	All	Check that there's no recording nor test playback ongoing on the machine for the same user session.
UnattendedUnsupportedWithOldConnection	403	Unattended	You need to create a new connection on the portal.
RDPIsNotEnabled	400	Unattended	You need to enable Remote Desktop on the machine.
UIFlowAlreadyRunning	429	Attended Unattended	A desktop flow is already running on the machine. You need to wait for its completion. For more information about this error code, see UIFlowAlreadyRunning.

UIFlowAgentNotAvailable	400	Attended Unattended	You need to confirm that the service uiflowservice is up and running on your machine. If you have the following error when trying to start uiflowservice, see Desktop flows failure: Windows could not start the UIFlowService service on Local Computer. Error 1069: The service did not start due to a logon failure
UnableToCallCrlEndpoint	400	Attended Unattended	You need to ensure the revocation list for the certificates can be checked. Ensure that the CRL services aren't blocked on the target machine. The services that must be contacted are listed in this article: Limits for automated, scheduled, and instant flows
NoListenerConnected	404	Attended Unattended	The endpoint wasn't found. There are no listeners connected to the endpoint. Check that your machine is online.
ConnectionNotEstablished	404	Attended Unattended	The endpoint wasn't found. None of the connected listeners accepted the connection within the allowed timeout. This error code can be caused by routing or firewall configuration issues. Check that your machine is online and can communicate with the required Power Automate endpoints.
DnsError	404	Attended Unattended	The endpoint wasn't found. Register your machine again and schedule new runs.
ConnectionTimeout	404	Attended Unattended	This request operation didn't receive a reply within the configured timeout. Check that your machine is online and can communicate with the required Power Automate endpoints.
EndpointDoNotExist	404	Attended Unattended	The endpoint wasn't found. Register your machine again and schedule new runs.
GroupIsEmpty	400	Attended Unattended	The machine group is empty. Add machines to the group, then reschedule new runs.
NoCandidateMachine	400	Attended Unattended	The run has exceeded the queue waiting time limit. Consider allocating more machines or spreading desktop flow runs to optimize wait time in the queue.
DesktopFlowsActionThrottled	429	Attended Unattended	The desktop flow action failed because of throttling. This error code appears when too many desktop flows use the same connection. Check your connection usage and assign your desktop flows to multiple connections.

AuthTokenNotYetValid	401	Attended Unattended	This can happen if the group password is created from a machine that has a clock indicating a time in the future for the machine that sent that error. Please ensure that all machines have an up-to-date clock and retry in a few minutes.
UIFlowAgentLauncherServiceIsNotRunning	500	Attended Unattended	A required service is not running on the target machine. Please ensure that the Power Automate agent launcher service is running on the target machine.
TotalChunksMismatch	400	Attended Unattended	When sending the required data to run the desktop flow, a corruption was detected. - Ensure that there is enough free disk space on the target machine to run the automation. - Ensure that the network connection is stable during the automation. - Consider reducing the size of the script to reduce the risk of a chunks mismatch error. - If the issue occurs consistently for every run，and you're running Power Automate version 2.36 or later, check if the cache folder C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\UIFlowService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power Automate Desktop\Cache exists. If it does, stop the runs from executing, and then delete the cache folder with administrator permissions.
DesktopFlowMalformedMachineResponse	500	Attended Unattended	This error code occurs when the target machine provides an unexpected response to the cloud orchestrator. - Verify that the machine has sufficient compute and memory resources while running the automation. - Ensure that the network connection is stable during the automation. - Ensure that you have the latest version of Power Automate for desktop installed.
