    Hi Sonya!

    The problem was the following option: (TestComplete shortcut > right-click > Properties > Compatibility > “Run this program as an administrator”). When this option is active, it doesn’t work. Neither when I double-click the shortcut, nor when I right-click the shortcut and “Run as administrator”.
