    Hi,

     

    Initially which browser are you using? IE, Firefox or Chrome

     

    Ctrl+W Using only for close the Tab. But you tried to close the browser completely

     

    I checked in my IE(IE 9, Windows 7 Enterprise). Even it is not working(Ctrl+W) manually too :(

     

    You can close the browser using browser method instead of passing Keys

     

    So before Automate please check whether is it working manually.

     

    Thanks,

    Kamal

      Hi Guys,

       

      same code is works for me. it is clossing a browser, but the condition is- browser should be activate on desktop.

      if any other process is runing along with browser and your browser is not activated then its not close browser.
