IU element is not being recognized

I need your help.

 

My flow is doing everything I need. The last step I need is for it to click on the "open file" pop up message that appears on the browser bar (screenshot attached).

However, every time I select the "add element" and pass the cursor on the item I want it to record, it does nothing, it does not recognize the pop up that appears. I just wanted the excel to open by itself!

 

Do you have any idea how I can make it run?

 

Thank you!

    You forgot to attach the screenshot.

    Which actions are you trying to use to automate this? It might be a browser pop-up and as such, you might need to use Press button in window instead of Press button in web page. The selectors for local app UI elements are different from those that are on web pages.
