Is there command in Ubuntu that is equivalent on restarting explorer.exe in Windows?

If your goal is to restart file manager , then pkill nautilus && nohup nautilus 2> /dev/null &.

If you want to restart your desktop session, sudo service lightdm restart. This command kills everything, kicks you back to login screen. Effectively restarts your graphical session
