Hi @sahilgoyal ,

The bot agent is installed in Windows 11 OS or Windows 10 ?

Still I can’t see the Device name in it. Please provide the entire screenshot covering the Bot Running device info as well.

@Padmakumar 

In username you can see ideapad gaming 3. 

Also i think it doesn’t matter what is the name of the device.

Sorry. It does matter especially if you are trying to access the Community edition through a device on which the Bot agent was actually not installed. Just need to cross verify both the Runner device and the device name are same or not.

@sahilgoyal

my thoughts:

1.- Probably is a compatibility issue due Windows Home Edition isn’t in the list below:

https://docs.automationanywhere.com/bundle/enterprise-v2019/page/enterprise-cloud/topics/deployment-planning/on-prem-install/device-req-for-bot-agent.html#d407354e648

 

2.-Re-Install BotAgent with admin privilegies (option All users)  and try register it again. 

 

 

 

HTH

Regards
