@OdyX while this fixes the actual hanging, it leaves zombie processes of the exiftool launcher on Windows. See https://oliverbetz.de/pages/Artikel/ExifTool-for-Windows to understand what the default self-extracting Perl Packager does.

I recall trying this fix before, but I've opted not to just kill as it leaves the zombie launcher around. CPython really needs to fix that bug... but it doesn't seem to be high priority if it's been open so long :(
