Windows 11 Multiple Windows Explorer Processes Bug(??)
Hey Y'all, I have 2 instances of Windows Explorer opened in the task manager at random times. It happens when i restart my computer, use it for some time and after a while i notice the fans ramp ...
- I found a solution for my issue, so I am just writing it here hoping it can help someone.
After I redownloaded the latest version of Malwarebytes and did a scan, it found a Trojan.Agent file: C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft Malware Protection
(creative name xD)
So after I quarantined this file and did a restart, explorer.exe did not run at all (not even once). So I guessed the virus corrupted the original file.
So to fix the new issue I opened the command prompt as admin and executed the command "sfc /scannow" and it found a corrupt file and fixed it. Now everything is back to normal.
Reza_AmeriYeah still could not find the feedback section 
there was a get help section which has no option of feedback and directs it to support.
I am sorry i could not try safe mode before, this time i used it for 30 minutes and the issue still persists. Even after closing all the windows the process remains in task manager with high memory use.
Screen shots are attached.

Reza_AmeriThank you for the response, I've tried everything you said, no files are corrupted and everything checks out but the error remains, even after windows update I thought Microsoft might fix the issue but it still remains.
- Try performing Clean Boot and see if the problem persists?
Have a look at:
