Unable to activate windows application from Browser in blue prism
I am currently using blue prism where it switch between web based application and desktop application. When I use 'Activate Application' step to activate browser it works fine but same thing not working in window based application from web. This is an inconsistent issue meaning sometime its working and sometimes not.
Note that i have used win32 mode to spy full window of windows desktop application...

It's hard to help you without seeing and testing things on your machine... I'd try different spy modes to see if any other one works more consistently. Also I've experienced 'Activate Application' failing to work on multiple occasions, but if I skip it, the following navigate stage (like a click) works fine, so I end up wrapping the activate part in a block and use a recover/resume pair to skip the activate part and jump directly to the next navigate stage.

Out of curiosity, any reason why you need to activate either of these applications? If you're able to leverage pure Win32 and Browser automation techniques, neither one requires the application to be activated.
