All applications that use the Windows Command Prompt (cmd.exe) rely on the Console Window Host (conhost.exe) process to interact with other Windows components.

As an example, the Console Window Host makes it possible to drag and drop files and folders from Windows Explorer to Windows Command Prompt.

It is not uncommon to see multiple instances of the Console Window Host in the Task Manager.

PowerShell and Command Prompt both rely on the Console Window Host. As a result, you need to either allow all child processes (default) or specifically conhost.exe when you create a process elevation rule that allows powershell.exe or cmd.exe
