Hi @saritha,

Update the UiPath.UIAutomation activity.Try again later. If you still cannot select the selectors, use the CV feature.

I shared links about CV activities. You can follow.

Hi @saritha !
Argument is not compulsory.
Usually when you drag and drop open application activity, you also click on indicate window on screen:

You need to indicate the software page that you want to open (best would be at the log in page or the page that opens when you open the software)
(example in my case, it’s Acrobat Reader). Then it fills in the FileName and Selector automatically

What is the software you are pointing UiPath Studio on ? Is it in the login page (or the basic page when you manually open the software) ?

I used UseApplication modern activity and its opening my desktop application and throwing me error like this

Exception from HRESULT:0x80004005
