OpenRPA version: 1.4.54
Using app.openiap.io or self hosted openflow: Self Hosted
Using Task Scheduler on Windows 11 to Launch my workflow. Chrome launches and the workflow proceeds as expected if I manually launch it from OpenRPA but it doesn’t work when I use the task scheduler. Chrome process is running when checked in Task Manager but it never actually opens up and display the website to proceed with the workflow.
That is not a bug, so i moved the topic.
RPA in general requires a desktop to work, so you cannot run a robot as localsystem. If you want to schedule using Task Scheduler then you must check “Run only when user is logged on”.
If you are looking for running unattended robots you can either try using Child Sessions ( or Picture in Picture as some call it ) or using High-Density Robots
I am running it on a desktop. I am logged in, yet it doesn’t start Chrome up.
does openrpa start ? or is it already running ?
How are you running it ? what are the arguments
OpenRPA starts running when the task is executed, Chrome also starts in the background. Yet Chrome doesn’t show up in the foreground. In the task scheduler, I have this as the argument: /WorkflowID worflowIdHere.
please check if you have OpenRPA running multiple times ( as local system ) in task manager, and if you do, kill the one not running in your desktop.
please send a screenshot of the task, i just did a quick test and have no issues running a workflow that opens chrome, using these settings
It is working now, the solution is to use “Run only when user is logged on”, otherwise it won’t launch OpenRPA or Chrome.
