Close all running Robots using Task Manager.
Right click on robot(From installed location) application and Run as administrator.

Then open command prompt or Batch file as Run As administrator.
I think it will work for you.

Thanks for your response skkumar. I ended all uirobot tasks, started uirobot as administrator, started the uipath robot service and then started the process as administrator through CMD, but am still getting the error.

Could you Run Robot.exe as Administrator.
Open Task manager , search for UiRobotSvc in Services.Restart UiRobotSvc process.
Give full access permission to Robot as well as .Xaml files.
Now , you can execute via command prompt.
Still if you are facing issue, open Event Viewer in your system and check for application errors to get more details.

Figured out the problem and am not too proud about it, but I’ll share the answer for future reference. The saved credentials in credential manager were missing the domain name. so instead of “domain\user” I just had “user”. Thanks for helping me!
