A small fix release for two things that got in the way of starting and updating the app.

Fixed

  • An update failed with could not copy ... (error 5). That happened when the installed copy had been started without administrator rights: it may not replace its own files in Program Files. A click on Update available now asks for those rights when it needs them, and installs the update after that.
  • Windows' search did not find the app. There was no Start menu entry. The installed copy now has one, GPU Auto Optimizer, made when Apply at logon is switched on and removed when it is switched off. If you already have the app installed, the entry appears with this update.

Upgrading

From 0.3.1 or newer: click Update available at the bottom left of the window. If that fails with error 5, which 0.4.1 and older can do, click Restart as administrator first and then Update available again; from this version on that is not needed. From 0.3.0 or older: download the zip below, unzip it and start GpuAutoOptimizer.exe; answer Yes when it offers to replace the older copy in the tray.

Known

  • The executables are not signed. Windows SmartScreen may warn at the first start, and a detection by an antivirus program cannot be ruled out; if you see one, please open an issue.
  • Tested on one PC: an RTX 4070 with driver 617.42, where the user is an administrator. On a PC where the user is not, Windows asks for another account's password when the app needs administrator rights; that was not tested.
