hi i'm new to Power Automate. I am trying to do my first RPA but I have a problem, everything works fine, but the clicks on the screen on a browser only work if I am looking at the screen if the device is blocked or minimized everything works, but the clicks on the screen do not, I am with a win 10 it can be something of configuration ??? I would appreciate if someone could guide me. Thanks

    Hi @Raul_fist , 

     

    With RPA, certain actions that interact with client applications via clicks and keystrokes cannot run in the background and the screen cannot be locked or interfered with.

     

    Check this link out for more info and requirements for both attended and unattended automations. 

     

    Organisations will usually run automations in unattended mode on a dedicated host to get around some of these issues.
