It kills discord/restarts it as it notifies completion.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the installer flow on Windows 11 and inspect the installer entry point that reports “Attempting to kill Discord.” Verify the Discord termination and restart behavior for the default install location; done means installation completes without hanging and Discord restarts as completion is reported.
