What is the proper way to minimize the Script Executor? Why is he even in foreground?
I’m using a function to set focus on the application used in the process, and the console output clearly indicates that the application is focused.
The same issue occurs both with the dev and unattended robot.

Based on what I’ve found, this behavior is not caused by your script or your focus function, but by Windows itself. The ScriptExecutor comes to the foreground because Windows imposes strict rules on which processes are allowed to activate or take focus. Even if your console output shows that your target application should be focused, Windows may still override that.
According to Microsoft’s documentation for SetForegroundWindow, Windows only allows a process to set the foreground window if very specific conditions are met. If these conditions are not satisfied, Windows will block the request — even though the function call returns successfully.me after user input, Windows does not allow cross-process focus changes. This means the robot may request focus, but the OS simply refuses.
It would be useful to request a new feature from Robotiq (Jira ticket- Suggest improvement): an option to automatically run ScriptExecutor 🙂
