Window Titles suddenly not recognized

[marcgallant]

I have been working with these scripts for weeks now and they have been working correctly. All of a sudden last night, they no longer recognize the window title. I even re-recorded a script, and played it back immediately after and it didn't work. Does anybody have any explanations for this?

Just in case it happens to somebody else, I needed to reboot my PC and it fixed the issue. Still strange that it wouldn't recognize the titles, but it is fine now.

Hi there,

do you think the problem happened because your window took time to come up? In that case you can write a 'Wait for Window' command in your task.

No, the windows were all there. It was very starnge, as if I used "Currently active window", it worked fine, but if I used the actual window name (I even tried putting "*" at the end for the wildcard, and it still wouldn't work. But nothing a quick reboot can't fix

Try enabling option, ‘Enable this task to run with other similar files or window titles’ in General Properties on Automation Anywhere screen.
