Anything else running in the background on the VM during the time of test script(s) execution?

What version of TC\TE are you using ?

OS of the VM ?
RAM ?
Browser being used ?

    Hi there, thanks for your reply.
    There's nothing else running. The comparisons between the pipeline execution time vs TestExecute time when running manually have been done on the same VM, with the same setup/specs.  
    TC version is 15.74. 

    I note that someone replied initially when i posted this but has since deleted his post, and it said that it's a known issue of running tests via the Azure Devops pipeline with a build agent. I couldn't find any further info on this (not sure if that's why they deleted the comment)

    No browser as it's a desktop application.
