Hi LearningRPA, the error doesn't seem to be coming directly from Blue Prism which you will see after doing a web search on the below error. Since it is also thrown outside of Blue Prism I suggest you to do the search and identify which resolution fits for the nature of your issue.

Here the term "resolution" is not the screen resolution. On the web search results, for the same error message there are multiple types of solutions depending on multiple scenarios. So it means applying a solution suitable for the scenario that the person is facing.

Has anyone solved this issue. It is definetely something Blueprism internal as a lot of other processes using the same resources are working. One thing I have noticed that this issue occurs when you are open an excel instance and the process goes into recover stage due to an exception. Usually resetting the process fixes it, but recently I am getting this error on the remote desktops.
