Symptoms

The Power Automate for desktop console doesn't show any desktop flows in the My flows list.

In the Power Automate for desktop console, select the Refresh button to make sure that the desktop flows are still not shown.
Go to the Power Automate Portal and make sure that the desktop flows do exist in the My flows > Desktop flows section.
Make sure that the Proxy server is using automatic authentication with the user's Active Directory account (for example, Kerberos, Negotiate, or NTLM).
Make sure that you don't have to input your credentials each time you need to authenticate with the proxy server.
Verify that the Proxy server isn't a socks proxy server.

Right-click the Power Automate for desktop icon in the system tray and then exit Power Automate for desktop.

To solve this issue, take the following steps:

Make sure that you have administrator rights or someone who has such rights is available.
Navigate to the installation folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Power Automate Desktop).
Back up the PAD.Designer.Host.exe.config and PAD.Console.Host.exe.config two files in order to recover them if something goes wrong.
For both files, edit each file with administrator rights, and at the end of the root xml node (<configuration>), add the following child xml node:
```
 <system.net>
      <defaultProxy enabled="true" useDefaultCredentials="true"> 
      </defaultProxy> 
 </system.net>
```
Save the files.
Restart Power Automate for desktop.
