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…
Anything that hooks into explorer.exe tends to require windows to reboot.
Or just kill explorer and let it instantly reload.
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.
Nah it’s auto restarting since at least windows 10 (2015)
