Windows 10: Are these processes legit?

So, i recently just updated to Windows 11 24H2 "2025-02 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems KB5052093", once done, i started getting Windows Security notifications saying "protected folder access blocked", and the apps trying to access them were "explorer.exe" and "ie4uinit.exe". they were trying to access folders in my %userprofile%, which makes sense because those folders are protected. I just need to know if these processes are legitimate. do these screenshots of the properties look correct, and these are legit? I also scanned them with virustotal.c
