I am currently trying to build a bot in Community edition, however, it suddenly pop up a error message of "User is already running a bot on device" when I try to run my robot.

Message details:
UNKNOWN: User is already running a bot on device
If the problem persists, please contact your system administrator.

I have checked the activity under "In process activity", there is nothing exist and I cannot solve this problem even I close bot agent in task manager, reopen AA restart my computer, anyone knows the reason of such situation and how can i solve it? many thanks!!!

hi rbkadiyam,

I have restarted Restart VDI and machine and it’s still not resolved,

but i cant use third method as the my system is blocked this location for the company rules.

Is there any other solution to force end the process?

Hi @blue lei ,

 

Please try to restart the Automation Anywhere Bot Agent service or Stop the service first and Start it after 15-30 seconds.
