Power Automate Desktop Version 2.16.215.22020 - lags

[paronchi]

I installed the new version and when I debug, it starts and executes the first steps quickly,

then starts to have delays on many actions, as if it freezes for n seconds and then starts again.

The delay for run is set to 1 ms

Hi @paronchi ,

Can you please share more info like:

1. How many actions do you have in your flow

2. Are there any actions created from the recorder?

3. If you increase the delay to 20ms (for example) does it change the behavior?

4. If you run it from the Console, do you experience the same lagging?

Thanks 

[paronchi]

1. How many actions do you have in your flow: I have 21 flow/subflow, each with 20-70 actions

2. Are there any actions created from the recorder? no

3. If you increase the delay to 20ms (for example) does it change the behavior? no

4. If you run it from the Console, do you experience the same lagging? no, in this case the flow runs whitout lags

We need this feature added in PAD.   (Run without debugger)

ProcessRobot used to have this feature.

I never used ProcessRobot, but in PAD, you can run in Edit Mode, or you can just press play from the main screen:

With this button, edit mode doesn't pop up.  Is this what you are looking for, or something else?

No, it is different.

You can run a Process choosing the "Run Without Debugger" option. This will run the Process
as if it was running on the target robot and not from the Process Designer. The Notification
Window will also pop-up, exactly as it happens when a process is running on the target robot.

It will still fill the variables with the value.

hi, I have something news,

if the delay for run is set to 100 ms, I have no more delays or lags 😄

@yoko2020  from where can I download "Process Designer"? is it still supported by microsoft?

thank's

Hi @paronchi ,

In general, setting the delay to so low values requires a significant amount of processor power. You can adjust the delay according to your needs, but also your PC capabilites too 🙂

Thanks,

George

[MichaelAnnis]

That’s great news. Thank you for sharing.

Hi George,

For me, I've never really understood the purpose of the delay because it seems to introduce problems when your tested program moves to production with 0 delay. I've been developing with 1ms for this reason. But I take your point about performance and will consider adjusting it.

Thanks!

😭sorry but the problem is still there.

But I discovered that it probably depends on some process running on pc.

If I run the process on a virtual machine (which runs on the same PC where I have the problem) the problem is not there.

Any suggestions to find the indicted process?

Thank's

Agree with @yoko2020 , we need a Run Without Debugger Mode option (equivalent to feature that was in ProcessRobot), so that the run with debugger" option, provides for fast full speed execution of pad flow, with error message of action number is displayed, should PAD flow end witt error and all variables values content, at time of error stop, displayable for inspection in PAD Designer.

This is needed as a full speed execution mode without debugger, yet provide the debugging info of error message an allow inspection of all variable value at end of execution.
