Robot Icon not present in Systems Tray of UiPath Orchestrator

Question

I am trying to connect my robot to Orchestrator by entering the robot key and Orchestrator URL into the robot’s settings. But, the UiPath robot icon is not present in the systems tray, and so I cannot access the settings. I am using UiPath Studio/Robot/Orchestrator Version   v-2016.2 and OS is Windows 10.

Hi Apeksha, to display robot icon in system tray, Try pasting the following link into the address bar of your file explorer:

%Userprofile%\AppData\Local\UiPath

After opening that folder, go ahead and open the most recent subfolder named “app-*”, e.g. “app-17.1.6522”. Within this folder you should be able to locate the “UiRobot.exe” file. Double click it. Check your systems tray and see if the icon appeared.

If that did not do the trick, try the following: hold the “Shift” button down while right clicking on the UiRobot.exe file, and click “Copy as path”. Then, write the following command into a command prompt:

start [PATH] –tray
where [PATH] is replaced with the complete path to the UiRobot.exe file that you copied above, surrounded by quotes “”.
