Automating applications running as administrator

Description

Automating an application running as administrator fails by default.

Cause

The application you are trying to run has an Integrity level higher than the UiPath applications.

Solution

You need to run the UiPath applications (both UiPath Studio and UiPath Assistant) as administrator.

To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the UiPath Studio and UiPath Assistant executables paths:
    • UiPath Studio: C:\Program Files\UiPath\Studio\UiPath.Studio.exe
    • UiPath Assistant: C:\Program Files\UiPath\Studio\UiPathAssistant\UiPath.Assistant.exe
  2. Right-click on each executable to open the Properties window and go to the Compatibility tab.
  3. Enable the Run this program as an administrator option and click Apply.


  4. Restart your machine to make sure all UiPath processes restart correctly.
