Description
Uninstalling the MSI triggers a prompt to reboot, but if the drivers and service are first stopped the MSI can be re-installed without a reboot.
Contributor guide
Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Trace the MSI uninstall path and determine where the drivers and service can be stopped before removal; done means uninstalling no longer prompts for a reboot and the MSI can be re-installed without one.
