Delay in Clicking “Save” Button on Print Dialog Using Send Hotkey Activity

Description

Hi All,

I’m facing an issue with the Send Hotkey activity while clicking the Save button on the Print dialog box. The BOT takes around one minute to click the Save button.

Previously, with the older version of UiPath Community Studio, this action used to take only a fraction of a second. If I uncheck the “SendWindowMessages” property, the click happens within 1–2 seconds, but in unattended (background) execution, it doesn’t work.

Could you please suggest a solution or an alternative approach to resolve this delay issue?

Thank you,

Hi @keyur.mehta

You can try simulate click instead of send hotkey to improve speed and support background execution. add a short delay before the click to ensure the dialog is ready. confirm the Save button is visible using element exists. avoid sendwindowmessages as it causes delays in unattended mode.

If helpful, mark as solution. Happy automation with UiPath
