Nope, it happens with literally just a couple explorer windows, outlook, and teams open. The CAD box comment was just to make clear that it is not on underpowered hardware by any means. And I’ve managed to trigger it with nothing but explorer windows open.
I don’t expect troubleshooting, but it’s not isolated to just my company, my home computer did it too, not nearly as often, and it’s been a while since it’s happened there (probably since I only leave file explorer open for 30 seconds at a time).
And even if it’s not technically part of the OS, will Windows even be in a useable state without it? Most things I see call it a “Core part of the OS,” although those are also specific to Windows 10 so if 11 changed it, that’s news to me. I dont see a difference. To most people (myself included), explorer.exe crashing and restarting looks just like Windows shitting itself, and since it’s packaged with every Windows install, that perception really is hard to argue against despite what some technicality of it being an executable says.

Okay. I don’t know what it could be. I’m not gonna troubleshoot your specific company issue blind from a distance . But still not the OS.
