    Hello Sue,

    It appears the computer is blocking the chrome driver via the group policy. The group policy is a Windows utility for network administrators that can be used to update security and networking policies.

    2 methods I would check would be to see if the specific program is blocked, or if the Software Restriction Policy is enabled for only local administrators.

    1st method - Blocked Program
    1. Access the group policy by using the run command and typing 'gpedit.msc'.
    2. Expand User Configuration > Administrative Templates > System. In the right pane, check to see if the "Don't run specified Windows applications" has been configured. If not, proceed to the 2nd method. If so, double-click it. Then click the show button.
    3. Lastly, remove the chrome.exe or any other IBM RPA applications you see from the disallowed list and click OK

    2nd method - Software Restriction Policy

    1. Search for the Local Security Policy application and access it
    2. Expand Software Restriction Policies > Enforcement.
    3. Select All users except local administrators. Click Apply and restart your PC.

    Then retry running solveCaptcha.wal

    Hello Martin,

    In my case, I cannot run the Windows Apps Automation with the sample app 'Users.exe' from the learning path Basic I: Windows Applications Automation with IBM Robotic Process Automation.
    I've tried opening 'gpedit.msc' and Local Security Policy, but unfortunately, I'm unable to open it. Here is the screenshot.

    Kindly help us with another solution.
    Thank you.

    Regards,

    Hi,

    Is this already a solved query? I'm having the same problem in the Trial Version.

    Thanks

    Hola, Carlos


    Cuando se crea un nuevo entorno, se crea el primer usuario con la regla "Administrador arrendatario", que no tiene permiso para iniciar sesión en IBM Studio. Luego deberás Agregar todas las demás reglas a tu nombre de usuario, para tener acceso al 100% de la plataforma.

    Siga el enlace de documentación para agregar las reglas.

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/rpa/23.0?topic=teams-managing-roles#procedure-for-editing-roles-details

    Espero que esto ayude
