if there is any step by step link available for enable the BOT workflow execution even if the screen remains lock that will be very helpful

Hi Vishal,

I had this issue but I resolved it by enabling the “Simulate Click” or “Send Window Messages” respectively like for “Send Hotkey” Send window message will be more suitable and for other clicking and extracting text activities “Simulate Click” option is better
