I want to do PiP with StudioX However, I get a window asking me to enter my Windows credentials, is there a way to turn them off and run them right away?
Please Let me Know, Thanks
Hi,
The following may help you.

Hi @rosshild21
When you encounter Windows credential prompts while using StudioX, you typically cannot turn them off directly. Instead, you need to:
- Ensure that the Windows user running the automation has necessary permissions.
- Use credential management techniques like Windows Credential Manager or UiPath’s secure storage.
- Automate the login process within your workflow to avoid manual credential entry.
it’s likely due to the process needing elevated permissions or interacting with elements that require authentication.
Steps:
1.Run StudioX as Administrator: Right-click on the StudioX shortcut and select “Run as administrator.” This can give the application the necessary permissions to avoid some credential prompts.
2.Check Your Workflow: Review your workflow to see if there are any activities that interact with secure or elevated system elements. Try to limit these interactions or adjust the workflow to avoid them if possible.
3.Use Windows Credential Manager: If your process needs credentials, consider using the Windows Credential Manager to securely store and retrieve credentials. StudioX can be configured to use credentials stored in the Credential Manager, reducing the need for manual entry.
Hi
If you’re encountering a Windows credentials prompt when trying to run a process, it’s likely related to the permissions and security settings on your machine
Please note that disabling Windows security prompts or UAC (User Account Control) prompts is not recommended for security reasons. It’s better to resolve the underlying permission issues.
If you still want to proceed with disabling these prompts, you can adjust the UAC settings or modify security policies. However, this might put your system at risk.
The following setting set to Disabled
triggers the PiP window to ask for credentials every time it starts:
Local Group Policy\Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Credential Delegation\Allow delegating default credentials
Hope this helps
