How can I programmatically stop an attended UiRobot.exe background Process?

  • The Process is initially started with UiRobot.exe and NOT with with orchestrator).
  • After the Process terminates, Assistant should STOP showing that the Process is running.
  • The command to stop the Process must be initiated from a different program or Process.

More Info:
I considered several approaches but none provide a good solution:

  • tsKill UiRobot.exe and UiPath.Executor.exe - works but Assistant shows job still running.
  • Add file change trigger within the workflow - Excessive overhead.
  • Use the Robot API - Not yet tried.

Environment:
Win 11, C# Windows, Studio 2022.10.1

Did you try the Robot API?
