Please find attached screenshot for same.
thanks regards,

Hi
Instead of use application try using a keyboard shortcut with key as win+r
And then try using the type into activity and type the text you want
The method you are using is absolutely fine
It’s with the filepath of run window I believe
The Windows Run dialog box is a resource located in ”C:\WINDOWS\system32\mstsc.exe”
Or
If you are trying to open a cmd prompt window then use this filepath
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
Hope this would help you resolve this
Cheers @varun_shinde
if i directly use hot key activity it is giving error as use activity inside application scope . i will try using command prompt.
hi Gokul Balaji,
How start process is configured"? .Please tell with all details.
Fine
There are multiple ways to open a run window
First and simple method is SEND HOT KEY activity with key as win+r
This doesn’t require any scope like use application
Second one is start process activity where pass the filepath of run prompt window as a string
Third is the use Use application method like how you are doing
Try with send hot key activity and with key as win+ r
Without indicating any element
Just the hot key
That should work for sure

Fine
No worries
Use start process activity and mention this in filepath property
”C:\WINDOWS\system32\mstsc.exe”
