hello,

I could not understand, why do you try to click somewhere by powershell? Or i misunderstood?

Powershell or cmd commands are ran in background so you can not see anything on screen while process is running.

hello again,

i used run cmd activity to run powershell command. when i ticked the run as admin property, i couldnt get any result from cmd and got an error. but when i didnt tick the run as admin property, the command has been run successfully and i got result.

i wrote “cmd.exe” to the exe name property and wrote my ps command to the parameters area. here is an example:

```auto
echo Import-Module ActiveDirectory;$employeeNumber = "${employeeNumber}";....other part of command.... > %temp%\RunPs1.ps1 & PowerShell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& '%temp%\RunPs1.ps1'" 2>nul &&exit

```
