Hi All, I am having a problem whereby after the 1st iteration, i got this error “Could not find the user-interface (UI) element for this action”. Everything works fine in the first iteration.

Sometimes the issue occurs at the
Click 'Start Service Start Test or
Take Screenshot ‘System.Windows.Controls…’ or
Click ‘Close’

Hi NaNi

Thanks for the reply

I just started UiPath so I don’t have much knowledge here

Do you mean by this? I have added an anchor to the click activity

Hi!

We have an activity called anchor base! just search it in Activities panel.

for your reference: https://docs.uipath.com/activities/docs/anchor-base

Hi NaNi

Thanks for the reference.

I managed to add in the anchor base but it is still reporting unable to find the UI element.

Hi!

if anchor base not working will do one thing.

Take one element exists activity. and indicate the element which it is appearing and output as element_Exists.

now take one if condition (element_Exists=True)

Then-> Click activity
Else->throw activity! or copy the same click activity and paste it in else block

I have the same problem.

My robot should take every single word document (from a folder), changing the “Protection” setings of the document (protected by password - ever the same).
It do well the first document. When opens the second it doesn’t find the “user-interface (UI) element”, giving me the error message “Could not find the user-interface (UI) element for this action”.

It is very strange because restarting the run, the first document is ever OK…

Please advise
