Unable to find selector that was previously found

For some reason I am now unable to find selectors that I was able to find when I created a my workflow. An example of this is when I try to click on the “home” button on microsoft excel the click and “indicate on screen” would identify the “home” button. Now when I try to run the bot it fails to find the selector. And when I try the “indicate on screen” I am unable to identify the “home” button but rather the entire navigation banner.

You probably think that this is a problem due to a recent update for excel, but I have not updated excel recently and this problem persists with other programs I have the bot interacting with. Is there a setting on uipath studio that I accidently selected that causes difficulty in finding selectors of elements?

Hi @Jacob_Summers.

Please check the selector.
It may be dynamic :slight_smile:

Nope, the selectors are not dynamic.

It’s working now!! When I restarted my computer the bot was able to find the selectors. Not sure why that fixed the bug but I’m relieved that it worked

Sometimes some programs uses “invisible” windows and that may cause conflicts with Robot. For example when you are recording while robot is running.
