Everything (which is a weird name to search) works the way that normal human beings should expect Windows Search to work: type text, receive matching filenames and paths instantly. TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker on GitHub Everything (Windows) Throw it in a scheduled task for 3 AM every Monday and forget about it. It automates the whole thing into a one-click process, which is already pretty cozy compared to NVIDIA’s stock installers, but with the -quiet and -confirm-dl flags it can install updated drivers with no user interaction at all. TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker is a diminuitive little 160KB thing that replaces GeForce Experience’s driver update feature. If you haven’t already, here’s one more reason to do it.
