2. If you want to use the application without saving any settings to your drive, keep the "Portable mode" checkbox checked. Otherwise uncheck it to automatically save your configuration.
3. Install the cookie-txt addon for [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookies-txt-one-click/) or [Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cookiestxt/njabckikapfpffapmjgojcnbfjonfjfg).
4. Go to the [Nvidia driver download page](https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx), enter your graphics card model, operating system, etc. and click "Search".
8. When not in portable mode, you may activate Autostart. This will make the application start everytime Windows boots. This will also install the application itself in your APPDATA folder.
Simply download the latest release from the [releases page](https://github.com/fyr77/EnvyUpdate/releases), run it and untick "Autostart". This will remove EnvyUpdate from your system.
This application is currently maintained and developed by me (fyr77) alone in my free time.
I always try to implement critical fixes as fast as I can, but other features and minor bug fixes may take a few days to weeks to implement.
If you want to help me develop EnvyUpdate, you can start by creating issues with your bug reports and/or feature requests. Pull requests are also welcome, especially regarding translations.
* [TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker](https://github.com/ElPumpo/TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker) - a command line update checker and installer. Inspired EnvyUpdate to begin with.
* [Disable-Nvidia-Telemtry](https://github.com/NateShoffner/Disable-Nvidia-Telemetry) - does pretty much what the name says. It disables Nvidia Telemetry.
* [NVCleanInstall](https://www.techpowerup.com/nvcleanstall/) - a closed-source application by TechPowerUp which does quite a lot of cool things.
EnvyUpdate is not a replacement for any of these tools. I will still try to implement as many features in EnvyUpdate as possible while keeping the simple interface and as little settings as possible.
