Hi everyone! I am fairly new to UiPath and currently working on my own small project in order to familiarize myself better with the software. Everything has been going quite well so far, however, since I am automating a small java GUI application I would need to use picture-in-picture (I tried other methods but unfortunately only hardware events seem to work with this application).
When I run my workflow in PiP it does seem to work as expected, however, before my automation can run in PiP mode I get a Windows security popup window in which I first have to manually enter my credentials and login. It would sort of defeat the purpose of automating this application if I still have to manually enter my pc login credentials before my automation can start running. Therefore I was wondering if it is possible to run automations in PiP mode without first having to manually input these login credentials.
Maybe there is some security setting on my pc I have to change to avoid this popup window? I could maybe create some type of batch file that automatically turns off this setting before my flow starts running and automatically enables it again once the flow is done running? Just thinking a bit how I could get around having to manually input these credentials and actually fully automate my application. All advice is hugely appreciated of course!
Hi, thank you so much for the quick response! I have checked my security settings and I am using a password as my windows login option. Maybe UiPath is configured to use the wrong password in a way since it does state that the ‘that the credentials that were used to connect to localhost did not work. Please enter new credentials.’ and that ‘The logon attempt has failed’?
In the meantime I have also tried running my automation in the virtual desktop PiP mode instead of as a child session which actually does seem to work and doesn’t require or ask for credentials when starting up. Unfortunately though this also doesn’t really seem like a solution since my java application can only interact with hardware events and the virtual desktop mode does not seem to support hardware events
