    Turn out Windows 7 and 10 are different when it comes to auto logon.

     

    When you activate auto logon and the jenkins slave start via task scheduler at system startup, your Jenkins slave gets Session ID 0 and all child process as well. This Session seems to not have access to the GUI. This is fine for Jenkins slave. But TestComplete which is lauched from Jekins slave is lost without "GUI access".

     

    The solution my coworker found is to attach the Jenkin slave start to the user login in task scheduler. Then Jenkins slave and TestComplete get Session ID 1 and the GUI will open.
