    You can map your "unusual screen" into the NameMapping repository and check its existence in the beginning of the loop:

     

    if Aliases.UnusualScreen.Exists:
  closeUnusualScreen()

    or simply use Find() for some property/value pair, which is relevant to your unexpected window:

     

    if Find(Property, Value, Depth).Exists:
  closeUnusualScreen()

    FYI:  I don't want to take credit for this solution but another user suggested the use of the WaitAliasChild method when checking/waiting for an object's existence - sometimes it works better than the exists or wait method.  For my issue - it did work better.
