Research direction
Reproduce the issue by opening PowerShell from Win+X, then opening Win+X again, and verify whether Explorer restarts; test both administrator modes and each listed operation. Trace the Win+X handling in the ExplorerPatcher source to identify the relevant entry point. Done means repeated Win+X use no longer restarts Explorer.
