Hi,

This has to do with Windows Explorer freezing. Thus resulting in multiple
instances of Explorer.exe running in the Task Manager if you tried to
re-open. If you choose the correct Explorer.exe to end process on, then you
won't get the error message upon boot.

Also, uncheck the setting here if set: Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder
Options/View/Launch folder windows in a separate process.
