I use more than 2 years now i read the manual few times, so dont worry about that.
I just got this problem with Internet Explorer.
IEPID variable still blank.

What about WinGet's PID or WinExist("A") ?

There can be more IE running i want PID of the one that launched with AHK.

you might want to explore using COM for IE otherwise it can get ver messy

The iexplore.exe must be a launcher or something, where the PID does not work. I tried it with the full path of internet explorer, with success. The full path on my computer is "C:\Programme\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE". Then getting the pid from IE is working.

Oh yea, with full path works.
But strange is that notepad.exe dont need full path to get PID.

Thank You all
