To silently install or uninstall Soundly on Windows using the `/S` argument, follow these steps:

**Before Starting:**
- Ensure the Soundly application is closed and not running in the background. The silent install/uninstall process will not work if the application is active.
- When using the silent argument, ensure you use a capital `/S`.

**Silent Installation:**

1. Download the Soundly setup executable (e.g., `soundly-setup.exe`).
2. Open the **Command Prompt** as an administrator.
3. Navigate to the directory where the setup executable is located.
4. Type `soundly-setup.exe /S` and press **Enter**. Soundly will be silently installed without displaying any interface during the process.

**Silent Uninstallation:**

1. Ensure Soundly is closed and not running in the background.
2. Open the **Command Prompt** as an administrator.
3. Navigate to the directory where Soundly is installed (e.g., `C:\Program Files\Soundly\`).
4. Type `uninstall.exe /S` and press **Enter**. Soundly will be silently uninstalled without displaying any interface during the process.

Note: Ensure you have administrative privileges when attempting to silently install or uninstall software, as this process requires elevated permissions.
