What command line argument is used to install the Falcon sensor on Windows without any prompts or UI elements?

The command line argument for installing the Falcon sensor on Windows without any prompts or UI elements is indeed the combination of "/install /quiet." This option is designed to facilitate a silent installation, meaning that the installation process will proceed without any user interaction or graphical elements.

The argument "/install" indicates the action to be performed, which is to install the software, while the "/quiet" modifier specifies that the installation should occur silently, bypassing any dialogue boxes or confirmations that would typically interrupt the process. This is particularly useful in environments where automated deployments are necessary, such as during large-scale rollouts or when using scripts to manage installations across multiple systems.

Other options, while they may seem relevant, are not suitable for achieving the same silent installation effect. For example, "/silent" alone is commonly seen in different contexts or applications, but it does not apply to the specific command structure utilized by CrowdStrike's installer. Additionally, options like "/norestart" or "/preinstall" serve distinct purposes and do not address the requirement for a completely silent installation procedure.
