For TestComplete to interact with a GUI application, an active session is required - meaning there must be a user logged onto the machine, and the machine not locked.

 

You can use tscon utility to disconnect your session, and the active session will still remain - meaning the user is still logged on, and the machine is not locked. TestComplete can still interact with the GUI application.

 

If there's no active session or the machine is locked, then there's no GUI. Therefore, TestComplete will fail to interact with the GUI application.

 

This is how Windows remote desktop works.
