Microsoft Real time protection crashes calling program with .NET Process.Start

Question

I have a software integration program that will launch other applications. A recent Windows 10 update has resulted in the calling application locking up even though the other applications launch. In my code, it is a simple statement. I will use Notepad.exe as an example

 Process.Start(notepad.exe)

Nothing more than that. Any suggestions? I do know that there are settings in group policy editor that can turn this off. However, having to do this with many customers is not an option. Any suggestions? Tom

Answer 1

This answer suggests disabling UseShellExecute . Try this

Process p = new Process() {
    StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("notepad.exe") {UseShellExecute = false}};
p.Start();
