Versions:
Power Automate for desktop, currently at version 2.65.00145.26040 and offered through eighteen successive releases by Microsoft Corporation, belongs to the “Automation & RPA” software category and provides a low-code environment for recording, designing, and running desktop-centric robotic process automation workflows. The application captures mouse clicks, keystrokes, and window interactions to create repeatable flows that bridge modern cloud services and legacy on-premises programs, enabling individual users, small businesses, and enterprise teams to eliminate repetitive, rule-based tasks without writing complex scripts. Typical use cases range from auto-archiving downloaded invoices into labeled folders and scraping web data directly into Excel, to updating ERP records, synchronizing terminal-emulator screens, or scheduling overnight batch processes that previously required manual intervention. A drag-and-drop designer supplemented by more than four hundred prebuilt actions—covering file management, Outlook, Excel, browser automation, OCR, and conditional logic—lets non-developers assemble sophisticated sequences, while the integrated recorder quickly translates on-screen activity into editable steps that can later be parameterized, shared, and centrally monitored through the broader Power Automate cloud service. Because flows execute locally on Windows workstations, the software preserves compatibility with desktop applications that lack APIs, including legacy mainframe clients, on-prem accounting suites, and custom LOB tools, thereby extending automation reach beyond what pure cloud connectors can achieve. Power Automate for desktop is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
