Need to convince my boss to get away from PowerAutomate to a better desktop application testing tool! Help me!

So my boss decided 2 years ago, that the application needs better testing and somebody on some conference told him about this powerful tool called powerautomate! He tried it out real quick and decided that this shall be the tool we should use for the "manual" test automation. But it sucks.
I joined the team 3 months ago and the testers are spending more time fixing flow errors than developing new tests. It is not even close.
Everyone is open for a new and better tool, but we need to convince the big boss, so we better have a prototype working and able to show him something.

Since we need to test a desktop application the prime tool Playwright sadly is not an option.
My rudimentary search called the top contenders to be UTF, Ranorex, Leapwork or TestComplete.

The software is developed in C# over the last 20 year, so it is quite the 3-4 million line of code monolith.

The software runs on a virtual desktop in the cloud.

Please help me find the best option for us and not letting me run into too many hazzards on the way.

Itchy rash on both ankles after walking in woods/meadows — allergy, bites, or something else?

Hey everyone,

I suddenly developed a rash on both ankles with pretty strong itching. It started around the ankles on both legs, and I also noticed some small spots/bumps on the sides of my hips and a bit on my shins. Those areas itch much less though.

I’m not sure what caused it. I regularly walk my dog in forests and grassy meadows, so I’m wondering if it could be something from there — maybe insect bites, plants, mites, or some kind of allergic reaction?

I do have seasonal allergies / hay fever, but I’ve never had a skin rash like this before.

No idea if it’s connected, but the ankle itching is definitely the worst part.

Has anyone experienced something similar or knows what this could be?

Or how it can be helped?

As you can see, I mayhaps scretched a little before taking the pictures...
