'Power Automate Desktop Returns "1/1/0001" when using "Get current date and time"
I am using Power Automate desktop to set up a flow. For this flow I need to get the current date, use it to get the most previous Monday, and get the date from that. When I try to use the "Get current date and time" action in desktop, I set the TimeZone as "specific time zone" then "Country/Region" to my time zone.
The resulting variable, CurrentDateTime, has a value of "1/1/0001 12:00:00AM". Any recommendations on how to fix?
Edit: I've also tried using "System Time Zone" and get the same result

i don't know if this is still relevant to you, but maybe it will be for someone else. I had the same issue when i tried to get CurrentDateTime.
The Reason for the Problem was, that i put the Action in the middle of the Flow. After i placed it in the beginning of the Flow it got the correct value.
TL;DR: Place the Action at the beginning of the flow.
Hope this works for you too.
