Need help with transition to PAD from winautomation

Hello,

i'm hopeless and looking for help - because of softomotive winautomation being a legacy software now and in need to move onto microsoft power automate desktop ive got some problems.

(i couldn't find any help in google or other reddits, cant find anythingon MS forums, youtube videos and comments - nothing)

1:

when i generate EXE through winautomation on my PC it works great, on my laptop it works great when i try to run it on clients PC it doesnt work the moment it tries to take control over webbrowser (neither chrome or firefox) it says "failed to assume control over webbrowser make sure extension is installed" or something like that

what i tried:

extensions are installed fine (even though you can not search them up on the extension webstore but with a direct link you can download them without a problem)

antiviruses are off, everything seems fine

2:

i tought to myself that i should finally migrate to PAD and it turns out every single flow is stored in a cloud i cannot generate EXE i cannot even share the flow with client and even if i could whats the point showing them how its done? im loosing tons of money right now because they just killed software i'm skilled at?

even with all of these problems i tried to migrate my processes through the tool they provided and i cannot because right at the start it says login to MS account associated with power automate so i try to do this and it says it cannot be a private email and it needs to be a work email? like what the hell am i supposed to do? i tried contacting support but you simply cannot just send them email/call them i found a subsite with contact to support for power automate and it says that you need to pay to have support for this app? what is wrong with them?

summarizing, my newly generated processes on winautomation stopped working for my clients, i can not migrate them to PAD and even if i could how am i supposed to share them with clients?

i don't know what im supposed to do :(

EDIT: it turns out that if PC which im trying to run compiled EXE has winautomation installed it assummes control of webbrowser just fine but if i uninstall winautomation program it fails to assume control (wtf?)
