@W1zzard Just a quick one - I'm using NVCleanstall on my laptop and it does correctly identify that it is indeed a mobile GPU however, on the Select Components To Install page, when I click the Recommended option, it does not select the Optimus component. Is this by design? Generally, I like to install Optimus when possible, but is it not recommended or required?

Thanks for this great program!

I think in general, the program should have Optimus be enabled by default for laptops.

This is an oversight indeed, great suggestion, will fix for next version

Could you please explain what this Driver installation "NVCleanstall Driver Modding Authority" is doing? Saw this the first time with vers. 1.7 during Driver installation.
Actually it should be clear that it has something to do with new modding feature - But maybe some words from the Master could bring more light into the darkness?!
Many thanks for this outstanding tool!

Certain operations on the driver break the digital signature, instead of asking you to manually disable driver signature verification, NVCleanstall generates a certificiate on your machine, installs it and signs the driver with it

It gave an error that it can't sign the driver.

It was because the sign tool is a temporary exe that created another firewall entry.

Should prompt for firewall[add a "no connection" error on the sign tool and prompt for retry], or wrap the connection through the original exe.
