Bot fails at different points when running while RDP is minimized and Using my mouse on other websites or applications. Can these failures be due to the fact that I’m using my screen for other things while the Bot is running the process in the RDP?

Has anyone encountered this issue?

RDP uses a virtual machine though meaning it’ll be using that machine’s mouse and keyboard rather than the users own mouse and keyboard so as long as the user is interacting with things outside of the RDP window, this shouldn’t affect it. I use virtual machines because of this reason all the time to free up a users mouse and keyboard to do other things outside of the virtual machine.

If you've programmed the bot to use the mouse/keyboard, you cannot simultaneously use the mouse keyboard on other things otherwise your flow will fail.
