The 'Windows Exist' activity helps you determine whether the application exists at runtime.
Based on the result of the 'Windows Exist' activity, validation will be added to the workflow
for further steps.

* Represents mandatory fields to execute the workflow
Here’s an example of how the “Window Exist” works in the workflow –
1. Drag and drop the “Window Exist” activity onto the designer pane.
a. Double click on the activity.
b. Click on “List Open Apps” and the “Open Application” window opens.
c. Choose the app for which you need to know the exist status and click
on “OK”.
d. Once we choose the application and click on OK, the name of the application
can be seen in the window title.
e. Declare a variable to know the 'Result' of 'WindowExist,' which only accepts
the 'Boolean' data type. Here, I am using the variable name 'Result’
i. Drag and drop the 'Write Line' activity to view the result of 'WindowExist'
status. Enter the declared variable “Result.Tostring” The reason for adding
the .ToString extension is that we are converting a "Boolean" data type
into a "String.”
Based on this result, we can add validation to the workflow.
2. Now, execute the workflow to view the “WindowExist” status.
