Every time I run my automation in PIP mode this warning message appears
is there a way to remove it?
Hi @igor.mathias,
You’re hitting a Windows permission limitation, not a UiPath issue.
In PiP mode, the robot runs in a separate session that doesn’t have access to certain system/UWP apps (like the MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS path in your screenshot). That’s why the warning appears.
Fix:
Avoid launching apps via Start menu/UWP (shell:AppsFolder, widgets, etc.)
Use direct .exe paths (Win32 apps only)
Or run the automation outside PiP if that app is required
If you share which activity triggers it, I can point to the exact change.
Hello @igor.mathias,
This issue is not caused by the workflow itself, but by a Windows component (CrossDeviceResume.exe) that is triggered when PiP starts a new session.
In PiP (Child Session), UiPath creates a separate Windows session, and some startup apps/services try to run there — which is why this popup appears.
There is no direct UiPath setting to suppress this message, but you can try the following:
- Switch the PiP type to Virtual Desktop instead of Child Session: Assistant - Picture in Picture, Assistant - PiP - Virtual Desktop
- Update Windows to the latest version:
- Settings → Windows Update
This is essentially a Windows-side issue, not a UiPath issue.
Thanks,
Karthik
