Comment on Microsoft Will Charge for Windows 10 Security Updates in 2025
asparagapple@lemmy.world 11 months agoA lot of apps you launch do become child processes of explorer.exe. If explorer crashes they might misbehave or become zombie process in Unix terms. It depends on the app though.
That’s why I run explorer in multi-process mode. Folder windows cannot crash the shell process.

I run chrome, firefox and more under win11 at an MSP.
That whole comment is so much not true.
Assuming you have the most up to date version of Edge: It’s literally Chromium. Don’t kid yourself.
And I crashed more than once my explorer.exe and my whole DE. Not once have I lost files.
If you have done a file move, maybe it would have but not just by crashing while clicking icons.
