I have a bot built with chrome browser. It works fine on my laptop. But when I run in the Virtual Machine it doesn't perform any click action. I tried to re-install the plugins still the issue persists.

Hi @Ruhee 2655 

Can you check the resolution in VM is same as that of your laptop or maximize the window before clicking on the buttons.

@ChanduMohammad Yes I did check the resolution it’s the same as in my laptop. The Bot was running fine until yesterday. This has suddenly shown this issue.

Hi @Ruhee 2655 

Can you check the properties of this button may be it could have changed. Recapture the button element and just select DOMXPath property from Object Properties and give a try

Hello @Ruhee 2655 

Can you create domxpath for the places where you want to click?

Hi @Ruhee 2655 ,

If you are 100% certain that the DOMXpath is accurate, then you can try switching the click type from left click → run in background.

If the element at least gets highlighted with the background operation, you can add a 2-3 second delay and send an Enter keystroke to get the job done.

If that doesn’t work, then you might have run JS using the Browser Action.

Kind Regards,
Ashwin A.K
