Win11 Closing a window via the X button sometimes restarts File Explorer
When you click the red X button to close certain File Explorer windows, the File Explorer process occasionally crashes and restarts automatically.
This issue occurs more frequently when multiple File Explorer windows are open at the same time. During the restart, all open File Explorer windows are closed, interrupting file management tasks.
