      If you kill explorer.exe manually it doesn’t respawn. You have to star the process yourself again.

      Unless something changed in the past year.

          No. It’s not. I spun up a vm and killed explorer.exe. How long should I be waiting? Cause I"m several minutes in and explorer hasn’t restarted itself yet. Also tested it on my VR computer (only non-linux physical machine in the house).

          Here I’ll even stream it for you. https://cast.saik0.com. I kill the process at basically 16:00(MST) it’s been 5 minutes now and the stream is going.

          Edit: Over 19 minutes now… Still waiting for it to restart…

          Edit2: Over an hour now… Still waiting for it to automatically restart. BTW the machine is windows 11. Latest patch/update.
