@Purva,

Which activity throwing this error? Make sure you change the Input method to Simulate for Ui interactions like Click, Type etc.

Hello @Purva

Do you have the Microsoft Edge extension for UiPath installed?
And does it work without running in PiP?

@Purva,

Great! Kindly close the thread as the original issue is resolved!

For this new issue raise a fresh thread to get more experts attention. Meanwhile, I’m also looking into it.

Thanks,

@Purva,

The error message indicates that the type 'UiPath.Excel.WorkbookApplication' cannot be serialized and suggests marking it with the DataContractAttribute attribute or making the type public with a parameterless constructor. (Captioned by AI)

This occurs when you pass non serializable datatype through Arguments. Here it seems you are trying to pass Excel Process Scope or Excel Application scope from one workflow to other.
