You can run several Explorer processes simultaneously. Totally normal & it insures more stability.
As far as memory usage, it might go up a bit vs. a single process.
You can control it by unchecking or checking the option highlighted below.
Even turned off, you may still have more than one instance depending on use.

This is a non-issue & Browser is irrelevant.
Explorer does more in the background than just displaying folders and file content.
Restart each process as you can't kill from the GUI.
You will know if they are left over processes.

Yeah, I'm not sure it was like that before, and didn't see any mentions of that change either.

At one time, MS used to aggregate multiple services under one service but nowadays that is pretty much a thing of the past (at least a decade).
Whist you see more instances of apps like explorer running (and associated services), you can shut each independently and this makes system more stable.

If you look at any system with multiple Explorer windows open, you'll find a bunch of Explorer instances listed in Task Manager. The first one expands to show each folder I have open.
I closed all the windows, now three appear with no expansion, but they're still consuming the same memory.
Yes, Explorer still has the memory leak, after a week or so running, I restart Explorer to bring it back to normal memory usage. I've see it get as high as 1.6GB memory usage before I noticed. Since I have 64GB, I don't really miss the memory, it's just my OCD that makes me want to bring it back to earth.

Okay I killed the three and restarted. Now only one instance running. Thanks fellas. Like it was said, not really effecting my memory as I have 32GB, but I was concerned it was Malware and now I'm educated and know how to clear them to free up memory.
