Please try using Start Process activity instead of open application. That might just work.

Hi @Shruti_Dhond

Welcome to our UiPath Forum! :slight_smile:

You will want to replace any part of the selector that is dynamic with a wildcard.
* symbol will act as any character
Thus, in your case, you would want to replace the string New Text Document (2) - with an * , ending up with:
title='*Notepad'

This should allow you to find the selector :slight_smile:
