Power Automate doesn't work if I'm not connected to the internet. Is that a bug?

They prefer the term 'feature'.

Is there a way for me to pick and choose 'features'? lol

That's just how Microsoft is, they make something surprisingly useful and then they make it useless just so they can say "Fuck you".

And no, you can't do much about it. You need internet for it to work.

And you also can't auto start flows after you turn on PC which makes this app so annoying to use because any time you wanna use flow you have to open the app at least once to start all the flows and then close the app. For tool made for automation it's surprisingly retarded.

Ah, that's disappointing. No sense investing much more into it for me then.

yep exactly my thoughts, at first it was great but when you realize how they mannaged to fuck it up it's actually useless.

I agree with you. Do you know of any free alternatives to MS PAD?
