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.

There should be an option in the settings to disable restarting to apply updates (though I only kno2 it exists on KDE)
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).
