Hello, 

Can anybody help with adding windows as slaves with java web start where Jenkins is hosted with Java 11, Is there a way to add to run UI tests on Windows VM?

You can start the agent directly using the Java command displayed in the agent launch page. You could have it as a start up application for the user that you need to run as.

Hi,

Yes it will connect if we start using Java command. But launching the slave with this way won't allow to run the UI based tests on slave.

If you launch it from a command line on the agent, it will allow it to run UI tests.

For me this works using robotframework. For some tests I have to start the agent as local admin.
