UiPath errors / Timeout
Activity timeout exceeded
Cause
A UI Automation activity could not locate or interact with the target element within its Timeout, usually because the app is slow to render or the robot runs unattended without an active desktop.
Fix
Increase the activity's Timeout (default 30s). Enable SimulateClick/SimulateType so it works without a visible desktop. Add Wait for Ready: Complete or an explicit delay before the interaction. For unattended robots, ensure the session is logged in and unlocked.
