Suggestion: Change "Update and Restart" to "Update and Relaunch"

Tell us about your request

The button in Settings > Software updates for updating Docker Desktop for Windows says "Update and Restart" (and maybe sometimes "Apply and Restart" if I recall).

I think this might suggest to the user that the entire computer will need to be restarted, leading to them choosing to put off installing the update unnecessarily. I think it would be worth considering changing it to something like "Update and Relaunch" and "Apply and Relaunch".

EDIT: I just got another update so I can see it currently actually says "Install and Restart", so in this case it would be "Install and Relaunch".

Which service(s) is this request for?

Docker Desktop on Windows

Here's the button I mean:
