I followed the note about excluding related paths for defender on release page. I also read

with EP installed, when it happens again:

  1. open up windows event viewer or computer management
  2. go to Event Viewer and go to Windows Logs -> Application
  3. copy and paste the log of explorer.exe crashing here

and I found no event from explorer.exe at all, but only info from Winlogon. The general page roughly says (my system is Chinese and so is this message, not quite sure about the translation) "shell program accidentally exits, C:\Windows\system32\userinit.exe is restarted". One example of detailed info, only time and EventRecordID changes.

I also enabled explorer console, but the command window closes before I can see anything that seems helpful.
