Notepad++ - Silent Install Switch

The hand-curated silent install command for Notepad++ on Windows, plus its silent uninstall command - for unattended, quiet, fleet-wide deploys. Copy, paste, ship - smoke-test in a throwaway VM first.

Silent install command

installer.exe /S /allusers

Silent uninstall command

"%ProgramFiles%\Notepad++\uninstall.exe" /S

Replace installer.exe with the actual installer filename (or its full path).

Notes & gotchas

Detection path

A file whose presence proves Notepad++ is installed - handy as an Intune / RMM detection rule:
