Research direction
The report names no repository file or test. Start with the VS Code Codex plugin's shell configuration and the CCSwitch command-line parameters, then compare behavior under PowerShell, cmd.exe, and Git Bash. Done means identifying a supported workaround or documenting the group-policy limitation.

Description
In vscode codex plugin:
I’m trying to analyze memory.go in my workspace:
D:\personalpro\nanobot
However, every read-only shell command fails. Running the command inside the sandbox produces:
windows sandbox: CreateProcessWithLogonW failed: 1385
Error 1385 indicates that the required logon type has not been granted to the user.
When I approve elevated execution and retry, it fails with:
OS error 1260: This program is blocked by group policy.
For more information, contact your system administrator.
This happens with both PowerShell commands such as Get-Content and commands executed through cmd.exe.
I tried configuring CCSwitch to use Git Bash as the shell by adding command-line parameters, but it didn’t work.
What can i do? Thank you all for your help and answers.
