Command = "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Telegram Desktop\unins000.exe" change command as per requirement

Args = /SILENT

daYs = 10 change No of days as per requirement in case of 10 the task will be disabled after 10 days

taskName = "uninstallProgram" Task name change as per requirement using same name will replace the existing task
