[Docs] Update Troubleshooting Q8 to include required system restart step for Windows #427

Description

@Viidhii19

Problem / motivation

In the README Troubleshooting section (Q8) regarding "PyTorch or TRIBE v2 installation issues on Windows", the instructions tell users to install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable. However, many beginners do not realize that system-level C++ redistributable installations often require a terminal or full system restart before the new DLLs are recognized by Python/Pip.

Proposed solution

I propose adding a small, explicit note to Step 1 of Q8 instructing the user to restart their terminal (or computer) after installing the redistributable before attempting to run pip install again.

Alternatives considered

N/A - This is a simple documentation clarity improvement.

Would you like to work on this?

[x] Yes, I'd like to implement this (GSSoC contributor)

Additional context

This will reduce the number of repeated Discord/Issue questions from Windows users who installed the tools but are still seeing the missing DLL error.
