    Thx for the reply Raghavani. Yes, I have gone through those documents. They all gave me the solution to let a user log in without authentication if I want to run the agent in interactive mode. My team put it down as it is not secure. Now I have found a way to run the agent without breaking any authentication process. Listing the solution in case anyone needs it in future. Created a Windows task to schedule a restart of my test machine. Create another regular task (Not basic) for agent to start on system restart, and in the actions -> arguments I have added the command /c start "" "folderstructure\run.cmd". This work as expected without the need to bypass any authentication protocols.

On my VM, I've installed Azure pipeline agent, and I've configured it to automatically login my test user account (even after restarting the VM). I have task schedule, that launches a PowerShell script file. Within the PowerShell script file, I have all the necessary commands to do pre-request stuff, before calling SessionCreator. SessionCreator has all the necessary parameters, to launch the automation using specific screen resolution, exports logs and summary to a folder. All of this is done within the same account (test user account).

I did this, to bypass the same IT issues you have.
