Prerequisites
Steps to reproduce
As a prerequisite ensure to have the Azure Information Protection client installed and configured.
With that a particular registry key will be created:
[HKCU:\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\MSIPC]
Try to check for this key with the command:
PS C:\Windows\System32> Test-Path -Path "HKCU:\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\MSIPC"
Expected behavior
As a result, you should see (on PowerShell 7.1.4.0 x64):
PS C:\Windows\System32> True
Actual behavior
But instead on PowerShell 7.1.4.0 x64 it returns:
PS C:\Windows\System32> False
Error details
In fact the key exist for sure. When checking the key with PowerShell 5.1, I always get the correct value returned:
PS C:\Windows\System32> True
I have created my own folder under the corresponding sub-key, and checking this is working. So at first we believed it must be related to the folder or it's settings. Nevertheless, why it works with PowerShell 5.1. Something seems to block 7.1 from reading this key.
Comparing a working and non-working folder does not show any differences. I also collaborated with an engineer from our AIP security team (responsible for the AIP client), but we did not find a difference.
Could you please check and assist finding a work around or the cause of this problem, or even better a solution?
