UiPath Chrome Extension shows up as I run automation

[Yasir_Yaqoob]

Hey, when I run automation the UiPath chrome extension shows up. Is there any way to hide it? Or make it work in the background. I don’t need it in my screenshots.

@Yasir_Yaqoob,

It is due to this upgrade if you are facing this for Studio Web.

Install the extension via a group policy and you will not have that popup.

Thanks for your reply. I tried to search it before. But I think my keywords weren’t as accurate to find the solution.
Anyway, I tried this proposed solution but got no pop-up about installation via policy per system.

The best way I found without going to PowerShell/command prompt is to just navigate to Home → Tools → UiPath Extensions → (Change from current user to) Group Policy Online.

I developed a simple UI Automation and it worked very well. No debugging pop-up anymore. Thanks, everyone.
