Right now I make the delay time longer just so I am covered but in turn it takes my automation longer to run. (I have to run this process thousands of times) My question is what would be a better way to approach this?

Hello, I used the AA360 CE the last Couple of days. Everything seems to be fine. Than occasionally the bot was hanging in the window („Deploying to your Computer“) after clicking „run“.The Controlroom is perfectly connected to the local device. Today I can‘t run the bot at all. It stuck in the Screen (see Screenshot) It seems after time the Community Edition starts to slow down. Pretty unfortunate, because we can’t continue the work which we want to present our CEO soon.  Are they any known issues or advices? We already reinstalled everything and also canceld and started the AA Bot Agent Service in windows services multiple times without success  Kind regardsPhilipp

It was giving this error on A360, and was perfectly running on A11, but it started to give error on A11 too. When the bot fills the places(textboxes) and click on Save, it throws error. When the bot fills the places, and I click on Save, it throws same error When I fill the places manually, and click on Save, it works perfectly..
