microsoft/winget-pkgs#49601 (comment)

Currently winget is able to silently uninstall nullsoft and inno setup application that register QuietUninstallString in Registry and Notepad++ here does not do that, this can either be fixed by requesting developer to add it or once when the feature at microsoft/winget-cli#1885 implemented.

microsoft/winget-cli#1368 (comment)

I believe Winget simply executes the uninstaller listed in the registry. I don't think it actually remembers the installer type nor has the ability to modify the command line of the uninstaller.

Ask the Krita developers to also register the silent uninstall command:

WriteRegStr HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\${KRITA_UNINSTALL_REGKEY}" "QuietUninstallString" '"$INSTDIR\uninstall.exe" /S'
