Desktop recorder cannot detect action

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 4

Hello,

 

I am trying to use desktop recorder to record few actions which I want to automate. In that process, windows defender kicks in asking me if I want to proceed as its doing a installation of a software. I clicked on Yes and installation was successful however this step of clicking on yes button on windows defender / antivirus popup is not getting recorder. Hence when I run the recorded steps, it gives an error.

 

What's the solution and why this step is not getting recorded?

    Most probably due to security reasons. Otherwise you could create a malware that automatically confirms its installation. 😉

     

    If you can't get the UI selector working, try OCR or image detection with coordinates based clicks
