Why Razer Synapse requires PC Restarts?

Hello, I'm a programmer and I truly don't understand why it needs a restart. After an update the mouse and keyboard stop working for a few seconds, this is basically the time where the old driver is dumped from the RAM and the new one is loaded. Why does Razer synapse need a restart after plugging in a new Razer mouse? I'm also a Linux user and on Linux I can update everything without a single restart. My Linux machine is running for 2 months without going on standby or being turned off. I also see that other programs require restarts on windows.

Hi @easydirectOlive250, Oh wait. You need a PC restart when plugged in new devices? I don't think I encountered that. Anyways if you had look into why Windows loves their restart, you will find out it's related to their library files which it out of my scope.
