@Ashik_Khan,

If you want to open the notepad application using Open application activity, you need to open it manually and indicate it by clicking on the “Indicate on screen” line which is there when you drag open application. It will automatically choose the selector and file.

Hi @Ashik_Khan
Welcome to uipath community
Fine
if we want to open a application by using selector
we can use open application activity
–there we got an option to choose the application that we want to open with INDICATE WINDOW ON SCREEN, with which you can indicate the application you want to select, which would in turn gets the selector of that application, so the selector property will get filled with xml nodes and the Filename property will also get populated with the file path of application .exe file
So this gets selected with the selector and opens as well with the same
Cheers @Ashik_Khan
