Attach window (on Excel) often fails and needs retry (despite high find window timeout)

Describe the bug Attach window often fails on Excel, despite the window being available. From the error message it is unclear why. Simply retrying it DOES work eventually, but I need to explicitely retry - using Robot Framwork keyword wait until keyword succeeds- despite setting a high find window timeout.

To Reproduce Not sure if you can reproduce. Our Excel application is pushed via a thing called Ivanti, so we can't start it using launch application. We have to start is using the Robot Process library and then use attach application by name to attach to it.

This does work without problem, so after that I would assume I can use "attach window" normally.

Expected behavior Attach window works in one try.
