Unattended bots are to be run completely without intervntion…

They are not meant to be run while screen is locked or minimized…

Please logout/sign out of the vm…do not shutdown…then the bot would login and perform the tasks…

When the screen is locked bot cannot unlock the screen…so it would fail…

Hope this helps

Cheers

But I didn’t connected to any VM…It is in my personal system I am getting this error

Even on your system…locked screen is same…you cannot run on locked screen…

On this you can try is to set login to console as true in your orchestrator robot settings

And also confirm if your robot is installed in servicemode…

To know that you can acheck the services from task manager…

You will see a service host service…if the installation is in service mode

  1. You will find them in robot settings page …please check this
    Robot settings

  2. UiPath.Service.Host.exe this is the service name
    Robot Service

  3. From the msi do not select quick installation then you can select service mode
    Installing the Robot

cheers
