Robot session - Virtual Desktop

Robot admin guide
Last updated Feb 26, 2025
Robot session - Virtual Desktop
Robot session - Virtual Desktop allows you to run automations in a virtual desktop on your machine, freeing your main desktop. It also supports multiple PiP user sessions per machine and does not require re-authentication or starting any apps already opened in the main desktop.
When a process is started in a Robot session, a new virtual desktop is launched and the process runs there, leaving the main desktops free to interact with. While the automation is running, you can see what the robot is doing and can use the Switch to PiP desktop button to access the virtual desktop where the automation is running.
