Whenever you open an app, browser, etc you should store it in a variable using the Output property.

Then later when you want to close it you just use the appropriate close activity and pass it the variable.

Why are you using Start Process instead of Open Application, Open Browser, etc?

U just use close application if its applicationn indicate the screen which you want to close
if u close the process terminate the process is there use that if u want close the tab in browser use close application only

There are multiple way to close the application.

  1. Indicate Application that needs to be closed in close application
  2. Kill Process (This will be used to kill application in case you have a few that were missed to be closed) - Use this at the end of the process flow to make sure that all the application are closed as per requirement.

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

@Sakshi_Jain, you can force it to open the .msg on either IE or Chrome as per your utility…

I’ll suggest chrome and then use browser activity to get data with ease.

Hope this helps

Use Close Window and set the selector to the window the email opened in.

You can open the email .msg using this to open the file in IE explorer…

You said it opens as Outlook email. So just use Close Window and set the selector to the Outlook window the email opened in.
