If pyautogui.locateOnScreen is not working on Windows Server 2012 R2, there are a few possible reasons why:

  1. Display settings: pyautogui.locateOnScreen uses image recognition algorithms to find an image on the screen. If the display settings on Windows Server 2012 R2 are not set correctly, this can cause issues with image recognition. Check that the display settings are set to the recommended resolution and color depth for your monitor.

  2. Scaling settings: If the scaling settings on Windows Server 2012 R2 are not set correctly, this can cause issues with image recognition. Check that the scaling settings are set to 100%.

  3. Image file format: pyautogui.locateOnScreen can only search for images in certain file formats, such as PNG or BMP. Ensure that the image you are searching for is in a supported file format.

  4. Image size and quality: The image size and quality can affect the accuracy of image recognition. Ensure that the image you are searching for is clear and large enough to be accurately detected by pyautogui.locateOnScreen.

  5. Application context: The context in which the image is being searched for can also affect the accuracy of image recognition. Ensure that the image is being searched for in the correct application window and that the window is in the foreground.

  6. Compatibility: pyautogui.locateOnScreen may not be compatible with certain applications or environments. Try running the script on a different machine or with a different version of Python to see if the issue persists.

  7. Dependencies: pyautogui.locateOnScreen requires several dependencies to work properly, such as OpenCV and Numpy. Ensure that these dependencies are installed and up-to-date.

If none of these solutions work, you may want to try using a different method for detecting the image, such as pyautogui.locateCenterOnScreen, which returns the center point of the located image instead of its position.
