@Palaniyappan It still fails, timeout has reached in the Activate activity.
If I’m at the UI then the robot able to detect the IE Notification bar and click Save as, but when I execute at the background then it fails
Fine
i think its not taking the simulate click property
kindly disable that and try with enabling send window message property in the click activity
Cheers @sam.lee
but it failed at the Activate activity, not the Click activity
Can I see the selector in the Activate activity?
The wildcard is to replace the Task number of the page, it is a generic value
Please try to refer to this conversation.
I already read through and tried from this thread. Still not working
Are you automating a browser or a window?
hi @sam.lee
I would suggest you try the following steps:
- use a “attach Window” rather than doing in a browser window
- use a “Click” activity and click on the IE notification bar (ensure you check the “SimulateClick” option)
- Use a “Type Into” activity and send the keys Tab+Tab+Down+Down+Enter (again, ensure that you set the Simulate Type
That works for me.
Hope this helps.

Hi @sam.lee
Please try the below steps individually / one after the other.
- Try to uncheck the simulate property for all the click activities.
- Go to bot settings on the orchestrator and try to set and update the resolution to 1920 x 1080 (or whatever the resolution your machine has when you open the VM). Then run the robot.
Please let me know if this works.

Appreciate for the ideas guys @santhoshreddy @autumnleaf. But I already have a workaround is that directly save the file and move it to the designated folder.
were u able to resolve this.I am stuck in same situation
I change it to clicking ‘Save’ instead. Then use a ‘Move File’ activity to move the file from ‘Downloads’ folder to a specific folder that I want.
