Not existing UI Element stops the flow

Posted on by maurohz

Hi everyone!

Since the last Power Automate update (2.38.176.23294), I've been facing some problems whit the action "If Windows contains". When the UI Element doesn't exist the flow stays waiting for the element to appear, ignoring the established wait time. I mean, it's like the flow gets frozen. It occurs with "If Windows contains" and also with "Wait for Window Content" when the UI Element does not exist.

Can you help me?

Thanlk you!

What do you mean with "stable"?
If I test the element, the flow finds it (without being excuted).

It sounds a lot like a bug to me. I don't have v2.38 available to me yet, so I cannot really test it. But if you're experiencing this and can easily reproduce the issue, I suggest reporting it as a bug to MS support.
