Using this library to close the 'File Explorer' app causes the Windows desktop to disappear.

Yes, but you can also start it like:

from AppOpener import open
open("explorer", match_closest=True)

Yes that is true, but that still does not resolve the issue. If at any point the close() method is used on file explorer, the Windows desktop disappears. The ability to close file explorer should either be removed or fixed. Opening it right after closing it does not resolve the issue.
