Hello,
Hi,
What type of application are you testing?
.Net application and mostly these are windows forms.
Could we use a Microsoft hosted agent?
unfortunately, we can only use Self Hosted Agents, since we use private cloud and our Azure DevOps is not public.
Could we enable autologin within the agent?

An interactive user session must be opened on your test agent. You can open the session manually, or, if you use Team Foundation Server 2018 or later, you can configure your agent to run with the auto-logon enabled to open the session automatically when it starts. You enable the auto-logon when you configure your agent. To learn about configuring agents, see docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/agents/.

That's the whole issue. Our company has a security group policy which does not allow to disable the Secure Sign On capability. I have pasted the dialog box. Thats why i was asking if there is any workaround for this? Thanks
Will this workaround work? More on running on "locked machines" but could be workaround: https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/running/on-locked-computers.html
Well currently what I am doing is, in the VM where I have installed TestExecute, I usually login to the VM and then run a console script which disconnects the computer and then when we run tests thru Azure DevOps, it seems to be running fine.
But this is not the ideal since I have to somehow log into the VM and then disconnect it.
Ideally Azure DevOps should create a connection with the VM even if its logged off and then start running the tests but this is currently not happening because of Secure Sign in group policy not allowing me. That's why i was asking if there is a work around to get through this problem.
Thank you
