    The link that I had provided, Running Tests via Remote Desktop and the sub topics, gives a clear indication of the requirements for running GUI tests.

We found the issue. If the runner is started as a service GUI tests are not running. If we start it using command prompt or a batch file it is working fine. But for that Virtual Machine should be turned on manually and create a session which is not we are looking. We are trying to Automated everything from start to end. 

The project what you have mention above, does it include GUI tests? Are you running it on a VM? How is the runner started? Just curious to know the solution, so that we can try it on our side. Thank you for responding. :)

    iamraj09Hello, were you able to run your GUI tests with a Github Actions runner that is started as a service? We are trying to do the same thing now but running into the same issues you ran into. Curious if you were ever able to get this working.
