IE11 silent uninstall
Can someone help me to uninstall IE11 silently please?
Tried with the command line, wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:2841134 /quiet doesnt show consistent behavior everytime.
And another command line,
FORFILES /P %WINDIR%\servicing\Packages /M Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-*11.*.mum /c "cmd /c echo Uninstalling package @fname && start /w pkgmgr /up:@fname /norestart"
This command pop-up's error messages thrice, saying access denied; even though i have admin permissions on that machine.
Kindly someone help me.

Hello,
You can try this command line :
cmd /c FORFILES /P %WINDIR%\servicing\Packages /M *11.*.mum /C "cmd /c echo @fname && start /w pkgmgr /up:@fname /quiet /norestart"

Does this remove 32 and 64 bit versions of IE11? Will I need to push a taskill script first to make sure IE isn't running or will it close automatically?
**Edit - I've ran both scripts on 2 different machines (they seem to do *something* but not sure what..) and after a reboot, both still are showing IE 11 (x64 and x32) - anonymous_94669 10 years ago
I know of a script that can uninstall silently if the machine is updated via WSUS. I'm assuming this isn't the case but if it is please let me know and I can share more info with you.
Hello jsunderman,
Thanks for your reply. My machine doesnt not updated via WSUS. Still you can share the information which would help me in troubleshooting.
Thanks

Hello egiberne,
Even the second command failed with error:0x800f080c, Feature name Internet-Explorer-Optional-amd64 is unknown.
Command -dism /online /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:Internet-Explorer-Optional-amd64
@ECHO OFF
