Silent: 

"C:\Program Files\ScreenStop\Uninstall.exe" /S

User data in %LOCALAPPDATA%\ScreenStop\ is preserved.

Dashboard Configuration

Before deploying to stations, create a setup_parameters.json file and place it alongside the installer. The installer copies it to:

C:\Program Files\ScreenStop\setup_parameters.json

Minimum configuration:

{
  "DASHBOARD_URL": "https://your-dashboard.example.com",
  "DASHBOARD_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
}
Key Description
DASHBOARD_URL Full URL of your ScreenStop dashboard (no trailing slash)
DASHBOARD_API_TOKEN Bearer token matching STATION_API_TOKEN on the server. Leave blank for demo/eval mode.

Enterprise deployment: Include setup_parameters.json in your Intune/SCCM/PDQ package alongside the installer EXE.

Note

Stations without setup_parameters.json will run in standalone mode — detection works but no dashboard sync.

Next Step

After installation, complete face enrollment so ScreenStop can recognize the authorized user.
