no VM involved.
I have a sequence with just send hotkey activity
with Win+R
thats about it

so you are running this process using the studio and get that message? IF so, i never seen it happen… Could anyone been trying to remote connect to your machine?

No remote, no Citrix, no VDi involved.

Steps

  1. Open UIPath Studio
  2. Add sequence, Added Send hot key
  3. select windows key and “r” key
  4. hit f5 to run
  5. got the error.

thats it. as simple as it gets.

it will work for sure !!
