There was an Error During Spying Operation - Edge

I am developing my first Edge automation. Blue Prism extension is already enabled. 

I am trying to attach to attach to already launched website. When I click on Attach on Application Modeller, instead of attaching, it will launch the website again. Then when I click on Identify button, error appears as "There was an error during spying operation". When I try to close the UI and attach again, it will again launch a new website, for a second Identify button will appear and it will switch back to attach again.

and the website I have opened manually is on MS Edge

i created the new object and its working fine for me, can you please try creating new object ,

what i am thinking is , initially you might have selected Internet Explorer because when its did not identify the target window that time you got IE related pop up error, for me i am getting different error if its not identifying the window.

my suggestion is , try creating all new object with all correct steps.

That is a classic mistake! So glad you figured out the executable path issue. I've done that way too many times when trying to attach to a running browser.

For the window title not identifying, it usually means the "Match the following" settings in your Application Modeller might be too specific or slightly off compared to what Blue Prism is actually seeing. Try simplifying the title match, maybe just use a portion of the title or even clear it out temporarily to see if it attaches, then add the title back in later.
