It's a bizarre request from an installer, but if you trust the software,
then you can kill explorer via Task Manager

Ctrl-Shift-Esc > Processes (tab) > Show processes from all users >
Right-click explorer > End Process
The PID column will show you the process corresponding to 1888
(addable via View > Select Columns, if not visible)

To restart it (from within Task Manager)
File > Run > explorer
