System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): The hook procedure is not installed

Posted on by

Hello,

 

When I am trying to build a simple Web Automation flow to complete a Web form filing task, I get an error message. 

 

This error message occurs when I work with the "Focus Text Field on Web Page" and try to add a UI Element. The browser I am using (Edge) does have the Windows Power Automate extension installed on it. 

 

The error message is shown below:

 

Message = The hook procedure is not installed
Error = System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception
