Loading Extensions#
Load an Extension#
Many extensions are provided on disk and can be loaded by simply selecting and enabling the extension of your choice.
Autoload#
Autoloading an extension will allow the extension to be started at startup by the application. For tools you use commonly it can be a benefit to auto-load, however tools you only use rarely should be enabled only when needed to conserve resources.
Remote Extensions#
Remote extensions are extensions managed by NVIDIA and are offered through a remote service. This allows for the immediate installation and delivery of updates without the need to update the app itself.
