Identifying UI Elements After Windows Updates

After installing Windows Security updates such as KB3200970, KB4462917, KB4457127 or KB4457131, registry entries corresponding to IAccessible might become corrupt. Please note that you might also be required to upgrade to the latest version of Studio besides fixing the registry entries.

Observed Behavior

Selectors are not generated for applications relying on the IAccessible registry entries, such as Internet Explorer, Microsoft Office components, or even File Explorer.

Cause

Corrupt IAccessible registry entries after performing a Windows update. This can also happen because the oleacc.dll file is not registered in the Windows Registry Editor. The file contains necessary libraries for Active Accessibility support.
