Wrong Browser is starting sometimes

[atomic]

So I have a Open Browser activity and sometimes Internet Explorer is starting when it should be Microsoft Edge.

The correct Broswer type is selected under properties.

What is the issue here?

After open browser activity use attach window activity to stay intact.

Wrong browser window selected

No worries Welcome to uipath community Fine You were almost done —let’s startva process with KILL PROCESS activity with the process name property as “iexplore” (Internet Explorer used) or as “chrome” ( if chrome browser is used ) in the property panel of kill process activity This will close all the browser and its pages so that we can start freshly with a new browser page and to confirm with process of our browser go to task manager and click on process tab where we can find all the appli…

Hello,

Two possibilities you can check.

1. Correct Browser Type selected or not
2. In URL is there any extension occurs while executing the particular activity.

Also you can try UiBrowser Output at very first level to store browser and then use the same in next activities

You can use “Kill process” Activity

In that Process name → “Your browser name”

After that you open the browser you want

using → Open Browser Activity

I am using REF. I always start with Kill all processes.

I am using Internet Explorer for some stuff and Edge for other stuff in the same REF process.

I have reinstalled them now. I will see how it works out.

I will try to update the dependencie package if it doesnt work.

And if that doesnt work I will try something else

Thanks for the help.

Hi @atomic,

Have you installed the extension for Microsoft Edge on your machine?
If not, Goto Tools->Edge extension

@90s_Developer

[atomic]

Yes, I just reinstalled them to see if it helps.

I agree with Nilesh.
When there is more than one browser window required, I always make use of UIBrowser. It seems to solve most issues.

Hi

I believe it’s something with the application
Because there is no way when browser type is chosen as edge but open as IE

restart your machine and try doing the same in a new project in studio

Pls let know if you are still facing that issue

Cheers @atomic

Hi,

You can close this post.

I found the problem. It was an “open browser activity” that wasnt used much in my REF that I forgot about hehe.

Everything is fine with the logic and your platform. Developer Error
