@Srini84 Actually Close Application needs Ui Element selectors but let say 4 Excel Instances are running and 3 are Active so it will be found in Element Exist and Close Application will close them. BUT what about that 1 remaining Excel Instance which still running in the Main Memory as a background process(ram sticky process)? That o e will not be closed by this Close Application Activity.

Hi @SHIVAM_SHARMA you can use close workbook activity

Have you tested this way:

For Each p in Process.GetProcessesByName("excel")
    p.CloseMainWindow

CloseExcelWindows.xaml (5.6 KB)
