That message tells you exactly what it means.  You need to reboot
because it is attempting to replace in-use DLLs, which Windows isn't
good at.  Long story short, it does it by telling Windows "Next time
you start, please copy this file over that file before loading."  Just
restarting bash isn't enough, since the DLLs are requested
dynamically, and haven't actually been changed until you reboot.
