No, but you’ve stated something that’s factually not true. And with all the shit that’s streamed on the internet, this is nothing near “weird”.
Sorry that you don’t know what you’re talking about.
over 3 hours and 20 minutes now by the way… Explorer.exe hasn’t restarted. What you claim has NEVER been the behavior.
Edit:
I’m killing the stream. It’s been over 4:20… I think the point is proven. Still no explorer.exe. Because when you kill the process, it does not restart.
I think pickles got confused from the fact that task manager (afaik) forces you to restart explorer if you try to kill it from there. If you taskkill /f /im it to death, then it stays dead.
Wacky, I remember the metro (windows 8 - 10) task manager forcing you to restart it.
Edit: Just checked the Windows 11 task manager, the Apps view’s ‘End Task’ button turns into a ‘Restart’ button when Explorer is selected (but the context menu option to end it stays).
That I can believe… The “Restart” option is just a taskkill and re-run the process. But that’s not “Explorer restarting itself”, that’s task manager restarting it for you under one specific, but probably the most common scenario.

“End task”
