VALUE COMMENT! Method shown in video only works if you have PAID LICENSE PLAN. If you want to schedule your flow FOR FREE you need do WORKAROUND !

OPEN powershellise

3. Open TASK SCHEDULER and CREATE BASIC TASK

4. Click on GENERAL make sure box "Run with highest privilegies" is UNCHECKED.

5. Choose trigger options which you want

6. Click on ACTIONS then NEW program/script: write Powershell

7. Click on ADD YOUR ARGUMENTS: -executionpolicy bypass -file C:\folder\yourfilename.ps1 You can find your file path clicking on file properties and copy it and paste.
