I'm trying to update SQL Server 2016 to CU7.

During the Files in Use check, I'm prompted to stop fdhost.exe for each running instance in order to prevent the need for a reboot.

But how to stop this process? I've stopped the Full-text Filter service and fdhost.exe is still running. When I kill it in Task Manager (or by using taskkill) it comes right back with a new PID and the service restarts itself.

It turns out that Setup was misreporting the need for a reboot.

I proceeded with the installation and it completed successfully. No reboot prompt.
