UiRobot.exe PiP --Enable

That’s what the documentation says to do at the command line, but it doesn’t work. We get an error that the verb PiP is not recognized. Yes, we are doing it with admin credentials.

Yes we are on the correct version of everything, as Assistant is giving this user the option to run in PiP but then says it is not enabled.

Robot was not renamed Assistant. Both still exist. Robot is still running your automations, Assistant is just a skin on top of it. You can even still run Robot without Assistant.

That being said, it wouldn’t surprise me if the command for enabling PiP was moved to the Assistant exe instead of Robot. I’ll try it, thanks for the idea!
