"Move mouse" actions move to wrong place

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2
My Power Automate desktop is not working on a virtual machine with 1920x1080 resolution. When I try to move the mouse by coordinates it moves to the wrong place.
However, on another virtual machine 1920x1200 it works fine and the mouse moves to the place I grab with Ctrl+Shift. What is the problem and why are my coordinates on the first virtual machine incorrectly fixed?
Anyone have an idea why it works differently on different screen resolutions? What can I do to make it work on my 1920x1080 screen? 
This does not work correctly for either relative to the screen or the active window. For example, I grabbed the coordinates of the start button, but the mouse stopped about 2 cm above it.

    Is the "Move mouse" action Relative to -setting set to "Screen" or "Active window". If active window then the window might be different size. 
    Can you just redo the "Move mouse" -action in the 1920x1080 machine instead of the 1920x1200?

    Also if in any way possible I recommend using actions that find elements and not just mouse coordinates.
