Wait for Window Action - Seems stuck in infinite mode

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Ponnusamy 41

I have added action 'wait for window', after pressing a button, if the button does not respond and the windows does not appear, it seems that the flow is stuck forever waiting for the window.  There is no time out parameter in 'Wait for Window' action. Any suggestion how to handle this?

    Hello @Ponnusam,

     

    Thanks for your feedback. The timeout parameter in wait for window actions is in our product roadmap and will be added to PAD soon. Currently I would suggest using the combination of "wait" and "if window"/"if window contains" conditional action for verifying the window state as shown in the screenshot below.

    Hope it makes sense Thanks for trying out Power Automate Desktop!
