Issue Description

I am experiencing a problem with running an external program
$times = (&"D:\exiftool-11.99\exiftool.exe" $filepath -csv -q | ConvertFrom-Csv).duration

Expected Behaviour

-- Description of what should be happening --
This should provide me the duration of all the video files in the specific path. This works without any issue in the ISE on the same machine

Actual Behaviour

-- Description of what actually happens --
When this line is run it never proceeds. The program does not run and results are not provided.
I have tried breaking in down to smaller steps and that runs inconsistently.

Attached Logs
