We are announcing the run two desktop flows in parallel on the same machine feature for Power Automate Desktop. This feature allows you to run a child desktop flow in parallel with its parent flow. This feature addresses unexpected popups in the target application that can block parent flows. By running a child flow in parallel, you can monitor and manage these popups and ensure parent flow efficiency. This feature will reach general availability on January 15, 2024.
How does this affect me?
Admins and users will now be able to handle popups in applications efficiently by running child flows in parallel to their parent flows. This enhancement helps ensure efficient flow execution regardless of interruptions.
What do I need to do to prepare?
This message is for awareness, and no action is required.

The recent update to Power Automate, which allows users to run two desktop flows in parallel on the same machine, is a game changer for both admins and users alike. This new feature enables a child desktop flow to operate alongside its parent flow, effectively tackling those pesky unexpected popups that can disrupt workflow.
For admins, this means a significant reduction in troubleshooting time. Instead of playing the role of the IT superhero swooping in to save the day from popups, they can now focus on more strategic initiatives. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t want to spend less time on the phone with the help desk?
Users, on the other hand, will find their productivity levels soaring. No longer will they have to sit and watch as their flows come to a screeching halt due to an annoying popup. Instead, they can manage these interruptions in real-time, ensuring that their workflows remain as smooth as a well-oiled machine.
The impact of these changes will be quite substantial. By enhancing flow efficiency and reducing downtime, we can expect to see an overall boost in productivity across the board. It’s like getting a double shot of espresso for your workflows—more energy, more output, and maybe even a little less stress!
As we all gear up for the general availability of this feature on January 15, 2024, I encourage everyone to share their thoughts and experiences. Have you encountered those annoying popups before? How do you think this update will change your daily tasks? Let’s get the conversation going! And for more insights and discussions, don’t forget to check out other posts on mwpro.co.uk.
