Explanation

The 'By title and/or class' window mode in Power Automate for desktop supports wildcard characters including the asterisk (*) to match any sequence of characters and the question mark (?) to match any single character in a window title. This is useful when window titles change dynamically (e.g., include file names or version numbers). 'By variable' uses a stored window object, 'By window instance/handle' uses a numeric handle, and 'By window UI element' targets a specific UI element - none of these support wildcard pattern matching.
