Hi there!

Yes, you can perform a silent installation and silent uninstallation of GitHub Desktop for Windows. Here’s how you can do it:

---

Silent Installation for All Users

1. Download the GitHub Desktop installer (GitHubDesktopSetup.exe) from the [official website](https://desktop.github.com/).

2. Run the following command in a Command Prompt with administrative privileges from the installer location C:\Users\User\Downloads:

   GitHubDesktopSetup-x64.exe /allusers /silent /norestart

   Explanation:

   • /allusers: Installs GitHub Desktop for all users on the machine.
   • /silent: Installs the program without showing the GUI.
   • /norestart: Ensures the system doesn't restart automatically after installation.

Silent Uninstallation

1. Locate the uninstaller file. By default, it is located in:

   C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\GitHubDesktop\Update.exe
   

2. Run the following command to silently uninstall GitHub Desktop:

   "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\GitHubDesktop\Update.exe" --uninstall --silent
