Reinstallation did not resolve error

[pkaovi]

I previously made a post here documenting my error. The post got moderated and hidden from most of the public without telling me why.

I am trying to have a valid discussion about the issue I am having with my installation of the Power Automate Desktop.

It can be assumed that whatever Power Automate Desktop user data I have either locally or associated with my account needs a reset.

Here I am again quoting the series of error logs which I encountered right after re-installation.

```
Message = Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
