UiPath - slow opening Word & Excel

Help
1

I’m working with Word & Excel within UiPath.

But opening these applications takes approximately 20 seconds ?

I created a test XAML file with just 2 activities

Open App
Message box
Properties for Open App File Name : “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE” Selector :

It takes about 20 seconds … no error message … just a 20 second wait !!!

I have tested opening Word using the Windows Run command in Microsoft Azure … it opens immediately !

Hi

May I know why we are trying to open a word or excel in foreground
Are we trying to access any elements in that application
Because if it is just reading the data then we can use word and excel a to which won’t require to open the file
