    I've just ran the same, these are the results. Also, TC has generated log files too.

    My batch file has only this command,

     

     

    start "TestExecute" /wait "C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestExecute 15\x64\Bin\TestExecute.exe" "C:\Sandbox\TestComplete\Project Flow\Project Flow.pjs" /run /exit /DoNotShowLog /project:"TestProject2" /ExportLog:"C:\Sandbox\Log\TestProject2\index.html"

     

     

    And task schedular

     

     

    How are you running your Task? Is this on your local machine?

GREAT!

On your Windows 10 environment, press the Windows Logo key + R, to bring up the Run dialog.

Type in shell:startup, followed by OK. It should take you to the Startup folder of the user.

Copy and paste the shortcut to the run.bat from the file location to the Startup folder.

Restart the VM, you should then see the Agent.Listener running, when reconnected to the VM.

You can then create a task to schedule your TestExecute.

when we installed the agent on the VM we configured it for auto login so it already does start up automatically following a VM restart. i'm not sure from where the "auto" part originates from because there is nothing the typical startup folder on that VM

 but the agent always gets start following a restart. that's the way it's always been so i don't see how that will change what's going on with my task scheduler issue
