Small update checker application for NVIDIA GeForce GPUs
Important Information
Nvidia seems to have discontinued non-DCH drivers. This means only Windows 10 and Windows 11 can get the most recent driver versions.
If you are running Standard (non-DCH) drivers right now, EnvyUpdate will NOT display newer driver versions until you have manually updated to DCH drivers.
EnvyUpdate
A small portable update checker application for Nvidia GPUs
How to use
Download the latest release (or as a .zip) and run it. Windows SmartScreen Messages can be safely ignored. They only happen because this project is not digitally signed.
The application itself does not update itself. If you notice any bugs or issues, be sure to check for a new version on GitHub!
Enabling Autostart will create a shortcut of EnvyUpdate in the Windows startup folder.
Compatibility
The application should be compatible with all Nvidia GeForce GPUs that have their drivers available on the nvidia.com download page and runs on Windows 7 and up.
It is tested with GeForce Series GPUs. Generally others might work, but they are (currently) untested.
Development
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 or 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.
Other interesting tools
- TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker - a command line update checker and installer. Inspired EnvyUpdate to begin with.
- nvidia-update - a Powershell script to check for driver updates
- Disable-Nvidia-Telemtry - does pretty much what the name says. It disables Nvidia Telemetry.
- NVCleanInstall - 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.
