Is there any way to run Attended bot even if the RDP session is minimized or closed?

I want to run a job from Uipath assistant on a VM, the bot runs fine as long as the VM is kept open on my machine but if I minimize or close the RDP session the job fails ( the activities in the code timeouts). The job involves multiple UI interactions on a browser.

I tried the workaround in this link but it didn’t help (Executing Tasks in a Minimized RDP Window)

VM OS: Windows Server 2016

Could anyone advise on this?

If you have attended license you can’t do that since the bot is running on windows session 1. If it is the unattended robot you can do that

@Navin_M

As the name suggest “Attended” that means you need to keep the VM session open or maximize

If you want to run in Unattended then you need a Unattended license instead of Attended license

Hope this will help you

Thanks
