Killing file explorer is the better one.

I’ve rescued my system (enough to save my work and restart proper after) by _starting_ file explorer via the task manager. When it crashes out and you lose start menu and task bar and all explorer windows and can’t even save an open doc, task manager has a run dialog and manually starting the file explorer was enough to get the save dialog working.

That incident also served to remind me to save more often &gt;.&gt;
