        Only thing I can think of is installations that include drivers. And even then, not all of them.

              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. <removed>. 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.

                  Edit3: pulling the stream. Ran it for over 4 hours. The point is proven. It doesn’t restart itself.
