Not able to see Jenkin's execution in local desktop

[A.K]

Currently I am using Jenkins version 2.7.1 in Windows 10 desktop. When I am building any project, I am not able to see any execution happening in my desktop. I searched for this and tried the following option but it didn't work for me. Please suggest how can I resolve this issue.

Steps followed:

1. Go to Windows Service.
2. Right click on Jenkins service and click Properties option.
3. Select Logon tab and check "Allow service to interact with desktop" option.

I don't think this is possible anymore after Windows Vista.

So is it the feature of Jenkins that the execution is not visible in Windows 10 OS? Is it also applicable for windows slave machine? If it is one of the Jenkins' feature, can you please share any link / documentation to check for the same.

It's a "feature" of Windows 10 that you can't see the interaction of a windows service on the desktop, it has nothing to do with Jenkins itself.

The best you can do now, is create a normal loggable account and set the Jenkins service to run under that account. I had to do this for unit tests that required some OpenGL and other environment features.

Please let me know how can I then see the execution. Should I then install Jenkins in other OS than Windows 10? Since I am beginner of Jenkins, not sure about the initial configuration required for Jenkins.

Download latest Jenkins here:

http://beta.jenkins-ci.org/content/thank-you-downloading-windows-installer/

start the installation (I assume you install into c:\Jenkins for this example). Make sure to install the services.

Go to c:\Jenkins\

Check the Jenkins.xml for this line

<arguments>-Xrs -Xmx1536m -Dhudson.lifecycle=hudson.lifecycle.WindowsServiceLifecycle -jar "%BASE%\jenkins.war" --httpPort=8081 --prefix=/Jenkins</arguments>

Change the port to the wanted one can also add the prefix here to website, here the url would be http://localhost:8081/Jenkins/

Now launch Windows Services applications as admin and start/restart Jenkins. Access Jenkins url then go to Manage Jenkins. All the setup aside the Jenkins.xml arguments are made within the web interface.
