TechPowerUp NVCleanstall v1.15.0 Released
TechPowerUp today released the latest version of TechPowerUp NVCleanstall, a handy utility that lets you take greater control over your NVIDIA GeForce software installation. NVCleanstall lets you disable stuff you probably don't need, such as Telemetry, or legacy components, giving your PC a leaner set of system software from NVIDIA. Version 1.15.0 introduces several handy changes. To begin with, the title screen shows whether the currently installed driver is a Studio driver (optimized for creators). A crash during the background update check for new NVIDIA drivers has been fixed.
We've added two more installer tweaks with this release. The first one lets you disable Multiplane Overlay (MPO)—doing so is known to fix certain rare system stuttering issues. Another tweak lets you disable the NVENC concurrent session encoding limits, so you can encode more than two streams in parallel. This tweak uses keylase's patch scripts from GitHub. The "build package" option has been improved to ensure it runs well on systems with more than 20 CPU cores, and better error reporting has been added. Grab TechPowerUp NVCleanstall v1.15.0 from the link below.

So it checks in the background using the nvidia servers? or it can only check in the background and NOT contact nvidia?
That drove me to then question the function. I wasn’t understanding why you would install without the ability to pull updates to begin with which confused my understanding of the option.
Yeah I thought the driver update function was pretty clear :eek:
The "without" is probably what confused me, as I would read that as "If I dont check this box it will check for updates anyway, it will just contact nvidia. This box only toggles the upstream provider."
Changing it to "Will not contact" to me then reads "This box enables updates but it wont check nvidia servers."
Thats how I would automatically interpret the context. In my mind its clear only if you already know how it works, if you dont then the current working to me leaves an interpretation of two possibilities.
In my case I have never used nvcleaninstall so I am not aware of when or was part of the thread in which this option was implemented. So I had no idea what I was looking at.
If any of that makes sense.
