Hello, I am trying to create my first bot with a very simple task: stop a service and start it again. The problem is that the service list is empty in control room, so I can’t select the service to stop. I have created a windows local account with administrator rights, and the AA agent is running under this local user. When I run Get-Service with this user from a PowerShell console it shows the full list of services perfectly. However, in control room service list is empty. Where could the problem be? Thanks in advance.

@sergio.teijido The best bet for a bot like this is NOT through the user interface. It’s using command-line commands.
