starting cygwin setup-x86_64.exe with parameters:

It does not matter if "--quiet-mode" is given or not: in all cases cygwin setup
opens a window showing setup progress and the real bad thing: allows the user on
whom desktop the window is shown to stop the upgrade!
I need a really unattended upgrade with some log written what setup had done.
And is it a bug? As far as I could find "--quiet-mode" means no window, no
messages at all - am I wrong and all those interpreting it the same way?
Might want to try dropping:

and add -O|--only-site -s|--site /url/ -s|--site ... closest/fastest mirrors as
long as it is/they are active in https://cygwin.com/mirrors.lst - probably best
if they are different protocols at the same mirror (handles cert expiry) and/or
reliable backup.
