Robot not recognizing windows in second monitor screen

Hello UiPath community

Shortly about setup, I have laptop which is connected to external monitor via HDMI. Dual monitor setup, laptop screen + external monitor.

I recorded Silverlight elements from Internet Explorer window which was on external monitor screen.
Everything works perfectly, except when I move Internet Explorer window to the laptops own screen and start the robot. It doesn’t find/recognize IE window and Silverlight elements anymore. When I move it back to external monitor and start it again, it works fine.

I wasn’t able to find any Selectors or other options which would state Main/secondary monitor. Anyone have ideas how to make it work without depending on which monitor screen it is on?

Error message pasted at the end of message.

Thank you for the link. I tried this out, but still the same problem occurs.
I’m running on Windows 7 Enterprise x64.
