Steps to reproduce
I have a python script that runs a .ps1 file which includes commands from the Microsoft.PowerShell.Security module. Starting with 7.3.0, these commands fail to import during script execution. This can be reproduced from a PowerShell window:
python -c "import subprocess; subprocess.Popen('powershell -command Get-ExecutionPolicy')"
OR
python -c "import subprocess; subprocess.Popen('powershell -command Import-Module Microsoft.PowerShell.Security')"
Expected behavior
PS C:\> python -c "import subprocess; subprocess.Popen('powershell -command Get-ExecutionPolicy')"
PS C:\> Restricted
PS C:\> python -c "import subprocess; subprocess.Popen('powershell -command Import-Module Microsoft.PowerShell.Security')"
PS C:\>Actual behavior
PS C:\> python -c "import subprocess; subprocess.Popen('powershell -command Get-ExecutionPolicy')"
PS C:\> Get-ExecutionPolicy : The 'Get-ExecutionPolicy' command was found in the module 'Microsoft.PowerShell.Security', but the module could not be loaded. For more
information, run 'Import-Module Microsoft.PowerShell.Security'.
