Upload a file using Mouse OCR action is not working on Virtual Machine

Posted on by 4

I just Uploaded files into a website using a flow in PAD, But it's only working with mouse action, not working when using any other options in PAD.

And when I'm using it in the local system then it's working fine but while I'm using Azure VM that upload part is failed. It's working only when I'm watching the workflow by taking the VM remotely and If I'm minimizing the remote window also it throws the same error. 

 

I received this error message :
