Hi Varun,

UIA mode works slow compared to AA mode. go with AA mode, if AA mode doesn't work then go with UIA mode. 
HTML mode make it faster as it work based on attributes like HTML path, Tag,class name 
UIA mode has limited attributes compared to AA and UIA mode.so it will take time to recognize element

Hi @VARUNPARATWAR,

Accessibility mode (AA Mode) is generally used when you are not able to spy any application using HTML/Browser mode (in case of web based apps) or Win32 mode (in case of Windows based app). AA mode gives a lot more attributes while spying hence careful selection of correct attributes is required for efficient automation. Lesser the attributes, greater the speed (Always remember this concept)

UIA mode is used to spy the UI elements which are not easily spyable via HTML/Browser mode. UIA mode is little slower than AA mode and also captures lesser attributes.
AA mode requires the application to be activated in order to work on it while browser/HTML/Win32 mode works on application even if they are not activated and stay in the backend​
