Why Multiple explorer.exe processes running?
Win 10 Pro 64bit. From time to time I see 2 or more explorer.exe processes running (viewed via task manager). The owner of them is me. I have no idea when or why they get started. I have been taking note of the PID of the first explorer process after starting my system. Then if I see more than one I just kill the others. I've experienced no issues after killing the extras.
Is it normal to have multiple explorer.exe processes running? What they might be used for?
Is there a way to see the process tree (parents, children, etc.)?
Thanks,
Larry
