      Hi
      I found a problem.
      I download the latest installer from the website
      https://github.com/open-rpa/openrpa/releases/latest/download/OpenRPA.msi,
      Then Openrpa cannot be started in the childsession.

        Did you upgrade windows to version 11 ?
        Child Sessions stopped working in windows 11, due to the way the robot try and detect if it's running inside a child session. Have not had time to look at that yet.
        If not, and you are on windows 10 or lower, please tell me what version. Then I will see if i can get that installed in a VM and test, while I also looks at the windows 11 issue.

            @gfx So had a look ... turns out windows 11 had nothing to with this.
            It was 1.3 that was the issue. I just happend to not have testet with 1.2 on windows 11, so just assumed it was an windows 11 issue.
            LiteDB does, by default, not support multiple connections to the same datanase file, so openrpa would not start when using openrpa version 1.3
            They do have an SharedEngine flag, but it's horrible bugged ( does not work for me, and i see tons of complaint on github ) but luckly someone made a hack. I have not tested this much, so I'm going to implement into the robot, that it uses "normal" connection by default, but if you enable child session, then it will use the patched-SharedEngine
            I'll add a message here, once I've uploaded a new version/msi with this update.

                  Hi,
                  The same thing happens to me on my Win 11. The Openflow (1.4.11) part open and works fine. The OpenRPA window never opens. My version Windows 11 Pro Edition
                  Version 21H2. I would like to try since I work a lot with Node Red. Thanks for your effort.
