UiPath Edge extension is installed → Version 23.4.2
Microsoft Edge Version 115.0.1901.183

You can see that I have the extension and is enabled on incognito

I added my screenshot with the extension enabled. It is not that.

@Oana_Georgiana_Vasile

Close the browser reopen again.
So,that will able to get it

[mkankatala (Mahesh Kankatala)]

After giving all the extensions have you restarted the browser.

If you can’t do it restart the browser and try.

[Oana_Georgiana_Vasile]

I tried that already. It’s something else. If no one else, with same versions as me, is experiencing these issues, it means that it’s a limitation on my organization.

[mkankatala (Mahesh Kankatala)]

Its working for me. Check with your organization.

Try with the Chrome Incognito to know its working or not.

[mkankatala (Mahesh Kankatala)]

Could you please check the properties of open application\browser activity properties that you checked the Incognito\Private mode.

Check the below screenshot

If you are not enabled enable the option. @Oana_Georgiana_Vasile

Hi @Oana_Georgiana_Vasile,

One workaround that i found was to add an activity to open a normal page like edge//newtab before the open browser that you are using and closing right after.

That way the browser identifies the extension and will work on incognito window

[aghuttun (Paulo GP)]

Hi @Oana_Georgiana_Vasile,

A workaround involves, in the workflow, opening a window incognito, opening a normal window and closing it. This way, for some reason, the extension starts to work correctly during execution.

Best regards

You returned like Gandalf The White in Lotr Two Towers. My friends, his solution works for some reason. I’ve been doing every known troubleshoot for this issue and it just not works, but the opening and closing of the browser without Incognito option ON fixes it. My clients will be livid.
