## How to upgrade/downgrade Kodi in a fully automatic way

**Prerequisites: You must have the user account as administrator of your computer (usually you already are)**

This feature allow you to install each Kodi setup that you choose in fully automatic way, that means:

- Allows you to avoid UAC prompt confirmation

- No Setup installation guide

- Kodi will be restarted automatically when the installation will be completed

So you no longer need the mouse or other manual interaction to make a Kodi update/downgrade

**How to enable it:**

1) Open the add-on setting

2) Enable `Automatic installations`

3) Select `Install Task`

When you choose to uninstall this add-on remember to execute `Delete Task` from the settings,

nothing happens if you do not do this, but an unused entry called `Kodi_Install_NoUAC` remains saved in the Windows Task Scheduler.
