2024.10.19 release notes for Robot.
Release date: February 11, 2026
Bug fixes
-
Fixed an issue where the Robot could not interact with the Windows Security prompt (CredentialUIBroker.exe) after certain Windows updates changed its integrity level. The fix allows the Robot executor to run at medium+ integrity level so it can interact with the prompt.
Unattended (Service Mode): To enable the fix, set the system environment variable
UIPATH_MEDIUMPLUS_EXECUTOR=true(this enables the executor to run at medium+ integrity level) and restart the Robot service. This does not apply to Attended/Assistant (User Mode).Design time (Studio): Automating this prompt requires Studio to run with administrator privileges. All UiPath processes must match the elevated permission (all elevated); mixed elevation causes execution to fail.
Before starting Studio elevated, all UiPath processes (for example
UiPath.Service.UserHost.exe,UiPath.Executor.exe) must already be stopped. When automation of the high-integrity window (the Windows Security prompt) is complete, all UiPath processes must be stopped and Studio must be restarted without administrator privileges before continuing the rest of the automation.To verify elevation status, the Elevated column in Task Manager's Details tab shows Yes for processes running at High integrity level (administrator) and No for Medium, Medium+, or lower. Task Manager does not distinguish between Medium and Medium+.
Limitations:
- The environment variable applies only to Unattended Robot in Service Mode; it has no effect in User Mode (Assistant, Attended).
- At design time, the only supported way to automate the prompt is to run Studio elevated after ensuring no UiPath processes are running non-elevated.
