I am facing an issue while using the “Use Application/Browser” activity in UiPath Studio.
When I indicate the website, the activity is not automatically capturing or updating the URL of the web page. I have to manually enter the URL, and sometimes the selector does not behave as expected.
I have tried re-indicating the application and restarting Studio, but the issue still persists.
Please let me know why the URL is not being selected automatically and how to fix this issue.
Reinstalling the browser extension, avoiding incognito mode, re‑indicating the element after the page fully loads, and ensuring “Open Browser/Use Application” is pointed to a top‑level page window. Also delete the project’s .local folder to refresh selectors if they became unstable.
If helpful, mark as solution. Happy automation with UiPath
URL isn’t captured because of browser extension or indication issues.
Check UiPath browser extension is enabled, use Indicate Application, set Open = Yes, and re-indicate the page.
When you indicate the element..you have default, UI Automation and Active Accessibility(AA) modes..url would be captures in ui automation or when default chooses ui automation
Hi Anil_G,
What I have already tried (as suggested in multiple threads):**
Re-indicating the application
Restarting UiPath Studio and browser
Reinstalling / repairing the UiPath browser extension
Avoiding Incognito / InPrivate mode
Disabling IE mode in Edge (set to “Don’t allow”)
Deleting the project’s .local folder
Ensuring the page is fully loaded before indicating
Manually selecting UI Automation instead of Default
Important point:
This happens only on my system. The same workflow works correctly on other machines, where the URL is captured automatically using UI Automation.
My question:
Is there a known issue related to Edge profiles, policies, or UIA injection failures?
Are there logs or diagnostics I can enable to confirm why UI Automation is not attaching to the browser?
Any guidance beyond the standard troubleshooting steps would be really helpful, as those have already been tried without success.
If possible can you record the scenario and show here please
There is no known issue as reported till date
Also to confirm if any errors are occuring while indicating(when url is not captured) please check the event viewer logs and the studio logs (general location if not changed : %LocalApplicationData%/UiPath/Logs)
I have checked the Event Viewer logs and UiPath Studio logs as suggested.
While indicating elements (when the URL is not captured), I did not see indication-specific errors in Studio logs. However, in Event Viewer → Windows Logs → Application, I consistently see UiPath errors related to SSL connection failure while connecting to Cloud Orchestrator.
Error summary:
Source: UiPath
Event ID: 10
Error: SSL connection could not be established
Message mentions failure to connect to cloud.uipath.com (SignalR / robots endpoint)
This seems to be a connectivity / SSL / network-related issue rather than a selector or indication issue.
I am checking internally regarding network or proxy restrictions.
If required, I can also record the scenario and share it.
Please let me know if any specific logs or additional details are needed from my side.
Cheers,
Yamuna
