    BUG Explorer opens multiple explorer.exe instances and I need to terminate them 1:1


    I just reinstalled Windows 11 recently. Since the new update 23H2, it opens excessive instances of explorer.exe, and they don't close automatically.Every time Explorer is opened, a new instance remains open.https://ibb.co/sHvVqgG

    Multiple instances of Windows Explorer

    So in the Processes tab, under Apps, however many Windows Explorers I actually have open is however many it will list, and expanding will list the specific folder that is open, there is no problem there. The problem is when you scroll down to Windows processes, that's where all the multiple instances are. Right now it's only showing 7 but that is because I restarted my computer a couple hours ago, I've counted as many as 40+ before.

    Multiple instances of Windows Explorer

    No, do not uninstall them.

    1) Restart your computer, go to Task Manager (Check how many Windows Explorers there are real quick)
    2) Look at all the other apps that are running, here's some examples of some of your 3rd party apps from your pictures above: Google Chrome, iTunes 5, Malwarebytes, Telegram (I don't know what that is), Autohotkey, [you may have more down that list]

    If you could post multiple screenshots of everything listed there (yes it might be a hastle, but I can point out the apps that you can End Task. Wait one question too... I see you have a Restart button. Mine shows "End Task"
