Unable to execute Desktop GUI tests on Azure Virtual Machine connected to GitHub Actions runner

Hi everyone,

Currently we are migrating to GitHub and as a part of that I am trying to execute a simple GUI desktop test using TestComplete with GitHub actions. 

The issue:

I have created a batch file to launch TestComplete and run the simple GUI test as mention in the documentation provided on TestComplete website. (refer to Syntax screenshot)

https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/working-with/integration/github-actions.html?_ga=2.246307148.915657396.1707729558-339793958.1707729558

https://support.smartbear.com/testexecute/docs/running/automating/command-line/command-line.html#examples

https://community.smartbear.com/discussions/testcomplete-questions/testexecute-command-line/119642

The Batch file which was created using the support documents, works fine when executed manually on the Virtual Machine, it launches TestComplete and executes GUI test and generates report. But when it is executed with GitHub actions, it hangs indefinitely (refer to Admin-mode and GitHub-execution screenshot) and should be cancelled. So I am stuck at this point because debugging is difficult, as there is no specific error message appears during or after the execution. 

1.Tried to run the batch file using Admin privileges 

2.Checked Firewall setting etc.,  

3. I have gone through the documentation and questions on the community related to this topic but could not find any solution related to this issue.

Has anyone had similar issue ?

Thank you.
