You could use Element Exists inside a while loop or you could use On Element Appear.

Hi @Thiyagarajan

You can also simply change the TimeoutMS parameter on your Click activity. That will cause the activity to wait that amount of time before it decides that it can’t find the element. For example, 60000 will wait for 1minute while looking for the element. After 1min it will throw the error saying it could not find it.

As for your other question, I’m not sure but minimized automation doesn’t work that well with UiPath without using Application Objects to access the elements directly like what VB does. You can try using the Hidden or Visible parameters with SimulateClick or SendWindows message. I’m also not sure if you lock your machine after you click run if it will continue, so I can’t answer that fully.

Thanks.
