option to re-install current driver #178

Closed sam0x17 closed 1 year ago

sam0x17 commented 1 year ago

Users of e-gpus on win11 often need to re-install the current nvidia driver as part of the flow for getting windows to adapt to the e-gpu being connected (or not). My husband's flow right now is to disable the laptop's discrete GPU in the device manager and then run GeForce Experience to re-install the current nvidia driver. Once he does this, the e-gpu always works (albeit with some occasional blue screens). He would love to use TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker to re-install the nvidia driver instead, but when it runs, it does not think it needs to re-install and just exits. Maybe if there was some command line option to re-install the current driver?

Hi. You can choose to force the "update available" prompt with the --force-dl command line argument.

Also warning if you have several NVIDIA GPUs in your system TNUC will choose the first one it finds, and search drivers for that one.
