I am running selenium tests through a service (CruiseControl.NET) using the Administrator account (it seems to fail if I run it as the system user).

In the tests, I am running an instance of chrome via chromedriver.exe so there is a browser window which size I ultimately want to control.

If I run it as Administrator, it seems that I cannot have the service interacting with the desktop so it will use the non interactive window station.

The name of window station is Service-0x0-3e7$ and the name of the desktop will be Service-0x0-3e7$\default.

The resolution in that desktop seems to be 1024x768 and my work computer has a resolution of 2560x1440 so the tests will be running under different conditions compared to when I run them locally, which is undesirable.

Why is the the desktop Service-0x0-3e7$\default of this size? Can I change it?

Did you use in Selenium tests the screen resolution? – Ratmir Asanov Apr 12 '18 at 08:22

I mean are you using something like that: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49424277/selenium-and-dimension-of-device/49424556#49424556? – Ratmir Asanov Apr 12 '18 at 09:15
@RatmirAsanov My question is about the size of the non interactive desktop. – Anders Lindén Apr 12 '18 at 09:25
