Upgrading 7-Zip crashes Windows Explorer

We started deploying 7-Zip v18.01 but quickly had to stop the deployment due to Windows Explorer crashing and leaving the end user without a taskbar. We tweaked our deployment and added this parameter to our PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit install string:

Execute-MSI -Action Install -Path "7z1801-x64.msi" -Parameters "/QN <span style="color: #ff0000;">MSIRMSHUTDOWN=2</span>"

Once we added that we were able to deploy with no issues.
