Version Information

Cmder 1.3.19
Windows 10 with Avecto Whitelisting software

Description of the issue

At startup of Cmder, it calls the following command:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\find /i "\cmd.exe"

This command triggers our Avecto whitelisting security to block the call, or asks me for the Windows password to override and call it anyway. This is an Avecto policy setting.

Running the command without the backslash in front of the cmd.exe, i.e.:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\find /i "cmd.exe"

works without an issue.

Now my questions:

  1. Where can I find the location where this command is triggered? I could not find it.
  2. What's the purpose of this command? Could it be removed or fixed?

Thanks.
