NOTE: there doesn't seem to be much of a use case for this app anymore, it was more helpful back when in Windows 11's buggy infancy but these days its a lot more stable, making tools like this completely irrelevant.

This is a very simple utility for Windows 10/11 that restarts the File Explorer and Windows desktop experience. It is most useful to help fix minor issues with the File Explorer without needing to reboot your computer. It can also forcefully stop file operations (copying, moving, etc.)

Note: This program executes commands that may be regarded by some antimalware tools as harmful. You may need to whitelist this app with your antimalware tool (Norton, McAfee, etc.)

Features

  • No install needed
  • Extremely easy to use
  • Can fix problems with the Windows desktop experience
