2. choose default install process (discord is installed in the default location)
3. Continue to install process.
**Expected behavior**
It kills discord/restarts it as it notifies completion.

Contributor guide
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.
