Failed to Get window error Click on UI Element in window

Posted on by

Setting up a flow in Power Automate Desktop, and getting error failed to get window while using the Desktop Recorder. In the last step of the flow before the error, an Excel sheet is opened, and then when I try and click on "File", this error occurs when running the flow. Any suggestions?

 

Here is error details:
Robin.Core.ActionException: Double click failed (failed to get window) ---> Robin.Shared.Runtime.ActionException: Double click failed (failed to get window)
at Robin.Modules.UIAutomation.Actions.UIUtils.TryFuncThrowExceptionIfNull[T](Func`1 func, ActionException ae)
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---
at Robin.Modules.UIAutomation.Actions.ClickElementInWindow.Execute(ActionContext context)
at Robin.Runtime.Engine.ActionRunner.RunAction(String action, Dictionary`2 inputArguments, Dictionary`2 outputArguments, IActionStatement statement)

 

 

 

Thanks

Jarrett

    Hello,

    why not using shortcuts instead of mouse clicking?
