You state "Ive also tried changing the place of Else, in case anyone wonders" but this does not provide accurate code representation. From the picture your else and the block are not positioned correctly.

The else needs to move to the left and the block needs to move to right under it as described in  https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/keyword-testing/reference/statements/else.html 

It will only work if the object you are checking exist in both conditions and only its value changes, example: "ClrFullClassName"="off" or "ClrFullClassName"="on". To validate use Spy and compare when it's set to on or off.

Also you might want to reduce such operation timeout to 1 second as when it is not equal to off it will wait using the default 10 seconds before it proceeds https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/keyword-testing/basic/custom-timeouts.html#Dialog

    In your case as you want it to continue if it is already set to ON, you only need to if..then you do not need to else. I assume you are looking at the wrong property that do not exist when state changes. In that case you can check for if exist.
