Error while running Coded UI Test from VSTS

When I'm trying to run Coded UI Test (Orderedtest1.orderedtest) from VSTS, I'm getting the following error at VsTest step:

***Error Message:

You are using Visual Studio Test task, that uses build/release agent to run test, so you need to configure the build/release as interactive mode in order to run Coded UI test, so reconfigure it as interactive mode.

Note: If the agent stopped, you can call run.cmd in Command Prompt (run Command Prompt as administrator), you can’t close this window otherwise the agent will be stopped.
