When running dpibreak in PowerShell for the first time after installation, the following error occurs:
ResourceUnavailable: Program 'dpibreak.exe' failed to run: An error occurred trying to start process '...\dpibreak.exe' with working directory '...'. The operation was canceled by the user.
This happens because PowerShell cannot handle the UAC elevation prompt required by dpibreak.exe before Windows SmartScreen has registered the binary. Unlike cmd.exe, PowerShell silently cancels the process instead of showing a SmartScreen prompt.
Workaround
Run dpibreak in cmd.exe first. (or double-click it) A Windows SmartScreen prompt will appear. Click "More info" and "Run anyway" to pass it. After that, dpibreak can be run from any terminal including PowerShell.
