Bot Plays Minesweeper in Power Automate Desktop

In this Power Automate Desktop (PAD) video, I show a demo of and then give a walkthrough of my solution for playing and solving Minesweeper in Power Automate Desktop. It’s important to recognize that this solution uses almost entirely Image Recognition (Image-based actions), so traditional ways of interacting with a UI do not work. For example, modes such as Win32, UIA, and AA do not work for this desktop app. I got the original idea to automate Minesweeper a couple of years ago from Baris Karakas. He automated Minesweeper in a web application using Blue Prism.
