I killed it from task manager though.

"End task"

Wacky, I remember the metro (windows 8 - 10) task manager forcing you to restart it.

Edit: Just checked the Windows 11 task manager, the Apps view's 'End Task' button turns into a 'Restart' button when Explorer is selected (but the context menu option to end it stays).

task manager forcing you to restart it.

That I can believe... The "Restart" option is just a taskkill and re-run the process. But that's not "Explorer restarting itself", that's task manager restarting it for you under one specific, but probably the most common scenario.
