[Bug]: Some installers close explorer.exe but don't execute it again after completing #1037

The problem

Some installers (like TortoiseGit) close explorer.exe but don't execute it again after completing.

It might be a good idea if WAU checked if explorer.exe is closed for any user and execute it again after installing any program. I looked into the source code to send a patch but I couldn't find out how to run it when WAU is being run under the SYSTEM user.

What version of WAU has the issue?

2.5.2.1858

What version of Windows are you using (ex. Windows 11 22H2)?

Windows 11 24H2

What version of winget are you using?

1.11.430
