did you try with uiexplorer to see if you can find elements?  
if you try on another application, lets say notepad, does it work?

Hi @jyotig,

Try uiexplorer to get the the exact selector.

If you are again facing the same problem please add the parent tag also to get exact one.

Hi Team,

I have tried  
UIexplorer to get the unique selector but it’s working only for the first time, But I want to click on that particular image into loop. So while I am trying to click on the image for the second time it is not working.

Please suggest any solution.

Thanks & Regards,

If your selector is dynamic, you ll need to make it more reliable from the activity

UiPath workflows are not able to integrate with the UI of RDC and other applications. The selectors were working for the past 2 months and stopped to work last week. This is the case with most of my other team members working on different applications.

We are unable to remap the selectors as the Studio/UiExplorer is unable to detect the UI elements. Is there a patch or fix for this issue?

if they stopped working last week then you ll have to tell us what changed at that point - either with the application or with studio/robot  
i ll need more details in order to help here.
