is your Task Schedule triggering the TestComplete srcipts? YES
If yes, does TestComplete then launch the browser and downloads the ClickOnce application?  YES

Great. While the automation is running, is there an active interactive Windows user session available? For example, is a user logged in with access to the desktop UI?

If the machine is locked or running without an interactive desktop session, TestComplete will be unable to interact with the application's user interface, causing the test to fail.

TestComplete requires an active interactive user session to access and automate the GUI of the application under test (AUT). Without an interactive session, the test engine cannot interact with UI elements, and the automated tests will not run successfully.
