Explorer crashing when using silent installer

Hello,

I am using a freshly created package from the admin console, set up for Shared Device Licensing.  Installing on Windows 10, 1909.  The package includes all apps, except XD.  When using the silent install of:

start /wait setup.exe --silent

it will install fine, but about 5 minutes in, it will (presumably) crash Windows Explorer.  As in, the screen goes blank, and all I see is the mouse.

I'm observing sometimes that explorer comes back after the install is over, but sometimes it does not.

I can add a line to my install script to start explorer.exe again, but this shouldn't happen in the first place.  If I'm trying to install it while someone is using the computer, I don't want their screen to go black for the time of the 30 minute install to take place.

Wondering if anyone has any tips on how to avoid explorer.exe crashing during install?  Thank you!
