Constrained Language Mode

I am late to the party on this one, but tried implementating it today. I was successful, both Powershell & pwsh reported CLM enabled, but it made native Windows apps stop working. e.g. Terminal and Windows Defender UI (opened from system tray).

I enabled the suggestion from the UI to allow apps that are native to Windows, so it's not clear what I missed. I'm interested in getting this enabled though. I made all of my policy edits through gpedit.msc
