# Uninstall Enterprise Connect Windows Workstation Authentication

To uninstall Enterprise Connect Windows Workstation Authentication, keep the following in mind:

* If the Uninstall field of the Parameters tab was filled out during the configuration of the MSI Updater client, then the MSI is protected with an administrator password. If this is the case, then **Admin permissions** are required to uninstall. Learn more in [Configure the MSI Updater client](configuring-windows-msiupdater.html#msiupdater_parameters_tab).

* Uninstalling Enterprise Connect Windows Workstation Authentication can be done from the **command line only**. Uninstalling the application from the *System Settings* can result in an error as follows:
