Can you run on UiPath Studio?
If you can , then publish and copy new package paste to bat file
and re-run windows task schedule again

Hi, it is still not working. The bat is being invoked but the task in task scheduler is running but UiPath package did not execute. Is setting a reminder via UiPath.Agent (previously called UiPath Robot) an alternative? Thanks

When robot works complete, the cmd will be gone.

22

Maybe there is any error in process.
You can write log message in exception block or see the execution log.

Also, if the robot starts without a user session from schedule, user interface is not rendered. So, Ui activities would not work)
