>Killing and restarting explorer.exe on Windows 10 is not supported

so what are you supposed to do if explorer hangs or freezes?

That's the question, right? The official answer appears to be "it can't/doesn't happen" ... and when it does, you really do have to reboot.

Unfortunate. That exact situation has happened to me multiple times on win7 and killing and restarting explorer.exe always seemed to work. Really poor systems design from Microsoft here
