Process Explorer 17.2 fails to start.
I use Chocolatey to update my instance of it. And I tested with a clean download from https://download.sysinternals.com/files/ProcessExplorer.zip. It has the same issue. So I ruled Chocolatey out of beeing the cause.
Here is my eventlog entry of the issue:
Faulting application name: procexp64.exe, version: 17.2.0.0, time stamp: 0x6ad089e9

I have also made sure that Windows Defender excludes the process.
