Desktop Flow work in attended run mode, but does not work on unattended run mode

Hi, I have a PAD that runs normally when it is in attended mode, I can see all steps completed without any issue. However when I switch it to 'Unattended' run mode it works for the majority of steps and stop in few of them.

The step that fails is just a simple normal click

What could be the reason behind that? are there events or elements behave differently between attended and unattended? Unattended is supposed to open a session just like any users. I'm using mouse move and send keys so they should work.

 

Thanks for your suggestions.

    Are you running your flow on virtual machine? In unattended mode you have to be sign out of the machine.

    Yes @Kresimir_RPA it is on a VM on Azure and it is signed out, otherwise it won't show the execution steps 😉
