    Still assembled, still runs. Haven't turned it on for 15 years?
What occurs when it “sometimes” happens..? What mods have you applied..? Need details

I don't know, sometimes the Explorer's appearance is fine, and sometimes it changes like that. Maybe I opened Explorer too quickly, I'm not sure. I'm not using any mods, just debloating the default Windows applications.

Reinstall UI3 elements and reboot. See if that fixes explorer:


Code: 
Get-AppxPackage -allusers *Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.CBS* | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

Reference this thread for details:

Removing via PowerShell removes Win UI3 Explorer?

Thank you to everyone who made suggestions. It looks like my explorer is now working fine using the methods from @Berton, @FreeBooter, and @dacrone. Sometimes the bug reappears, but I can restart the explorer using the right-click context menu method from @Edwin. Thanks again, everyone! Thread closed.

Do you have any mod installed such as StartAllBack, ExplorerPatcher, or WindHawk? If so, update to the latest version of that mod.
