I do not know if this is even possible without breaking/crashing the process but is there a way to change the working directory of a System.Diagnostics.Process like you would when executing the cd (change directory) command from the cmd.exe command line interface?

cmd process c#

You may set the working directory of the process with

myProcess.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "dir".

Documentation here.

As per MSDN, there is only one function which can change current folder, SetCurrentDirectory and it has single string parameter, so the change is for current process only.
