Chrome Test Extension crashes when using TestExecute and Task Scheduler together

When I run a test using TextExecute directly, my test runs fine in Chrome; however, when I use the Windows Task Scheduler to launch TestExecute and run a test, I get the following message from Chrome...
Chrome
extension
Task Scheduler
TestExecute

    Thanks Everyone for your help - We figured out!

     

    In the Task Scheduler settings, there is a checkbox "Run with highest priveleges". When this is checked on my virtual machine, Chrome is run as an administrator. In my case, the administrator does NOT have the SmartBear extension installed in Chrome. Once this checkbox was unchecked, the SmartBear extension works under my user context. Then, TestExecute runs the test as expected.

I agree with BeniotB and tristaanogre, here's the link to the contact support form.

 

However, if you provide us with the details tristaanoggre is asking from you, the community members will do their best to look for a solution inside the Community also!
