Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    If you kill explorer.exe manually it doesn't respawn. You have to star the process yourself again.

    Unless something changed in the past year.

    Nah it's auto restarting since at least windows 10 (2015)

    No. It's not. I spun up a vm and killed explorer.exe. How long should I be waiting? Cause I"m several minutes in and explorer hasn't restarted itself yet. Also tested it on my VR computer (only non-linux physical machine in the house).

    Here I'll even stream it for you. https://cast.saik0.com. I kill the process at basically 16:00(MST) it's been 5 minutes now and the stream is going.

    Edit: Over 19 minutes now... Still waiting for it to restart...

    Edit2: Over an hour now... Still waiting for it to automatically restart. BTW the machine is windows 11. Latest patch/update.
