OpenFile Timed Out Error

Help Forum

I am currently encountering an “OpenFile Timed Out” error, which occurs randomly—sometimes there is no issue, and other times the error appears.
This generally happens while invoking the workflow.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Try increasing the TimeOut. By default it maybe 30

I have already increased the timeout. However facing the same issue.

Could you show which activity is throwing this error exactly?

Invoke workflow file activity

If the Invoke Workflow File activity in UiPath shows an “Open File Timeout Error”, it may be due to:

  1. File Path Issues – Ensure the .xaml file exists and use an absolute path.
  2. File in Use – Another process might be locking the file; restart UiPath Studio.
  3. Large Workflow – Split the workflow or increase the TimeoutMS property.
  4. Corrupted Workflow – Try opening the file directly; restore or recreate if needed.
  5. Missing Dependencies – Check Manage Packages and install required dependencies.
  6. UiPath Issues – Restart UiPath Studio/Robot, update packages, and check logs.

If using Orchestrator, verify logs for additional details. Running UiPath Studio as Administrator may also help resolve permission-related issues. If the error persists, share the exact error message, UiPath version, and logs for further troubleshooting. :rocket:
