I’m having problems with an alert that says something abut the Excel links. I just want to omit it by clicking on the x. ![2022-05-24 14_56_36-490698062 - AnyDesk](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/uipath/original/4X/b/5/2/b52c553945cc9b746608d545c1eabbe59015f158.jpeg) The problem is the Excel aplication scope, because does not advance and stays waiting to the infinity. ![2022-05-24 14_59_29-490698062 - AnyDesk](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/uipath/original/4X/f/5/a/f5a24988b3da2d267881867ef7cb78a40234a255.png) I resolved a lot of alerts in Excel but this one is so extrange.
