MC1310358: Power Automate - Schedule desktop flows without a cloud flow requirement

How does this affect me?
This feature introduces a streamlined scheduling experience in Power Automate.

Key capabilities include:

  • Users can create schedules directly for desktop flows without needing a cloud flow as an intermediary trigger.
  • A new “Schedules” area provides a complete overview of:
    • The desktop flows each schedule runs.
    • The machines or machine groups assigned for execution.
    • Upcoming active runs.
  • Schedules can directly select the machine or machine group responsible for running the flow.
  • Elimination of cloud flow dependencies, simplifying the scheduling process.
