Issue with clicking the UI element

Hi all,

I am trying to click on an utilities icon using the "Click UI Element in Window" action in Power Automate Desktop. However, the bot is not consistently clicking the correct icon. Sometimes the mouse hovers over the correct icon and clicks it, but other times it goes lower and clicks the settings icon instead. Could you please guide me on how to resolve this issue? Thank you in advance!

I would maybe try to recapture the element so you could have it a bit more accurate. So maybe there is an element in that UI that takes also the "Utilities" -text or only that text. And maybe that wont jump around as much.

If that doesn't work try using Advanced settings "Mouse position relative to UI element" to be on the top middle. If thats too far up then add some pixel amount to "Offset Y" to make it go down a bit.

Is this a website or an desktop application? Since you seem to have "populate text field on webpage" -action I was thinking maybe this is a web page. If so then use browser actions not UI actions.
