When I am attempting to run an Open Program/File command - powershell.exe to be exact

Full error:

“Error WaitForInputIdle. It may be because the process does not have a graphical interface."

Hi @Witold Sobkow ,

 

You can try 3 things here and see whether these are helping or not.

 

  • There is a known bug with multiple language function. So, change your OS language to English and try running the BOT again.

or

  • Through the Error handler package, use the Pass to bypass the issue

or

  • Try killing the background process which using AA.      
  1. Run AA Client as Admin or AA Client -> Tools -> Options -> Runtime Settings -> Select Run Tasks as Administrator.
  2. Using Open Program/File command.
  3. Step 1: taskkill.exe
  4. Step 3: /f /im [program name.exe]

Hi @Witold Sobkow ,

If it works, enclosed it in an error command in order to  avoid stop the taskbot.
