Indicate on screen problem

Help
1

Hey, I try select notepad with open application activite by using indicate on screen method but it doesn’t recognice it at all. I tried disabling my other monitor also but didnt help at all. Any help into this? Somehow my notepad becomes “explorer.exe” and I don’t know why.

I get error:
RemoteException wrapping System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Cannot find the UI element corresponding to this selector:
at UiPath.Core.Activities.ScopeActivity.EndExecute(NativeActivityContext context, IAsyncResult result)
at UiPath.Core.Activities.AsyncNativeActivity.BookmarkResumptionCallback(NativeActivityContext context, Bookmark bookmark, Object value)

I managed find out that if I change app path to “C:\Windows\system32\notepad.exe”
and app to “”
It works fine, but its still stupid if I indicate screen notepad but it puts it to default “explorer.exe” ? It isn’t supposed to work like that?

I managed open excel when I change the path to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\EXCEL.EXE” and also change the Selector to wnd app=‘excel,exe’

I tried also basic recording and if I click app notepad there it offers default path of C:\windows\exlorer.exe which isnt right path for notepad and really weird to me.
