@Muhammad_Anas_Baloch,

If you’re trying to automate the opening of the desktop application, consider using the “Start Process” activity in UiPath to launch the application directly rather than relying on UI interaction.

Hi Brother,

Please try using Start Process activity to open the desired browser.

If you are trying to open google chrome give Google Chrome actual path. And you will be able to launch Goggle Chrome easily :wink:

@Mohamed_Abdelwahab No, I need to allow it first to make the modifications.

@ashokkarale , @hrishikesh.k Thank you so much that is working fine. It is opening the application and I am able to interact with it now. I have one question, after opening the application successfully will it allow me to automate it as well in future it wouldn’t create any issue while intereacting with the fields?

For example, Inserting the data into the input fields?

Best Regards,
Muhammad Anas.
