Default Macro Minimizes Window

I created a macro to launch an online game I play. And the macro sucsesfully launches the game, puts my password in and logs in.

The problem is that when the macro finishes, the game window minimizes to the desktop.
Is there a command that will just end the macro without minimizing the game window?

Also, after I execute a macro, Workspace macro continues to run and has 3 processes running and is active in my taskbar.
I understand that wmphotkeys.exe needs to be running all the time, but is there a way to have Workspace Macro shut itself down after macro execution?

Hello,

What you can do is, start and stop the macro recording using hotkeys instead of using mouse. In that way when the macro ends the focus would remain on the last window you were working with.

Start the macro recording using default hotkey, Ctrl+Alt+N and stop the recording using hotkey, Ctrl+Alt+S. You can also change the default hotkeys to start and stop the recording from, Tools->Options->Hotkeys.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for getting to so soon.
Yeah I did that already, and I also made sure that the last action executed in the macro was clicking "login" in the game.

I also tried to put pause as the last action, that prevents the game from minimizing but then Workspace Macro just sits on the desktop waiting for me to hit resume.

Hello,

Can you upload your macro so that we can look into it? You can locate your macro by right clicking the macro and selecting 'Locate on disk' from context menu. Otherwise, you can also send text format of macro. For that, open your macro in a Macro Editor, go to Tools->Save as text file and send this text file.

Meanwhile, try using Keystrokes to click on "login" in the game.

Hope that helps.
