Category of the issue

Installation issue.

Brief description of your issue

It's currently impossible to uninstall Google Chrome using winget uninstall Google.Chrome --silent, except as administrator. However, it's possible to uninstall normally without --silent and using interactive mode

Steps to reproduce

Install Google Chrome Try to uninstall it using Winget --silent Try to uninstall without --silent

Actual behavior

Error 1603 when uninstalling with --silent (except as admin)

Expected behavior

Be able to uninstall Google.Chrome (and other packages) using --silent.

If --silent fails, shouldn't Winget try to uninstall without this tag automatically?

What do you think about this idea: If --silent fails, shouldn't Winget try to uninstall without this tag automatically?

One of our key design criteria has been supporting "unattended" installations to support things like winget import packages.json. We might consider a fallback approach to "non-silent" installs once we have some user driven settings or arguments to allow users to select that behavior.
