Software update: NVCleanstall 1.4.0

NVCleanstall is a program that can create a custom installation of Nvidia video card drivers. This can remove components that you don’t need or don’t want, but that cannot be disabled in the default installation file. The program can work with a driver that is already installed, an installation file that has already been downloaded, or it can get a driver of your choice from the Nvidia website. Then the driver is extracted and the desired adjustments are made. The result is an uncompressed folder of files that is larger, but installs much less. The changelog of the last few versions looks like this:
