I'd be happy with File Explorer not giving the circle of death and the green bar of despair on a regular basis. Microsoft, can you fix these basic usability problems first before shoving more bloat into the tool?

I'd be happy if it just didn't take the taskbar and start menu with it when it crashed. Why are they so intertwined?

(They do eventually restart automatically, but still.)

fwiw, there is an option to spawn explorer windows in separate processes. I always turn it on for that reason.
I had no idea. I am sure it is disabled on my corporate laptop, but definitely worth checking out tomorrow.
I love when I accidentally happen to drag a file over disconnected network drive and whole explorer freezes for 30 seconds...
This.
