My Power Automate flows didn’t trigger after a restore.
Deployed my Dataverse solution from Dev → Acceptance.
Expected instant triggers.
Got… nothing.
And I had a demo in an hour.
Tried: – Off/On ritual (works for printers, right?) – Removed all trigger columns and filters – Blaming the Premium connector licence – “Save As” into a shiny new flow – Even built a new flow from scratch in ACC
Still nothing. No errors. Just silence.
I knew the environment was in Administrative Mode after a restore.
What I didn’t know: There’s a buried setting under administrative mode to enable/disable Background Operations.
After a restore, it was disabled by default. When disabled, Dataverse triggers simply won’t fire.
Enabled background operations → everything worked instantly.
That was a lot of hours wasted on a 1‑minute fix.
