Endpoint Security Prevents Invocation of PowerShell

[rpatchet]

Description

During startup, Mark Text invokes PowerShell. Corporate security policy does not permit invocation of PowerShell by another process (nor cmd.exe) and its endpoint protection program stops the invoking process.

Steps to reproduce

1. Have an endpoint protection program running.
2. Institute a policy that blocks invocation of PowerShell.
3. Run Mark Text.

Expected behavior:

Mark Text successfully executes.

Is it possible to run Mark Text in a manner that does not invoke PowerShell.

I prefer Mark Text as my markdown editor, but obviously cannot use it when corporate security policy blocks its start-up behavior.

Actual behavior:

From Event Viewer: "The application C:\program files\mark text\mark text.exe invoked the application C:\windows\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe. The operation was blocked and the application terminated by {endpoint protection program}."
