# EnvyUpdate
|
|
A small update checker application for Nvidia GPUs
|
|
|
|
## How to use
|
|
|
|
1. Download the latest release from the [releases page](https://github.com/fyr77/EnvyUpdate/releases) and run it. Windows SmartScreen Messages can be safely ignored. They only happen because this project is not digitally signed.
|
|
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".
|
|
5. On the resulting page, use the previously installed cookie-txt addon to save your site cookies as a .txt file.
|
|
6. Drag this .txt file into the corresponding space inside EnvyUpdate.
|
|
7. If everything works correctly, the online driver version should be displayed in the application window.
|
|
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.
