Finish setup

Setup asks for administrator permission to add the display driver; click “Yes”. When it finishes, the Winglet icon appears at the right end of the taskbar; if you don't see it, click the ^ arrow on the taskbar.

If Smart App Control is on

On Windows 11, setup is blocked when this security feature is on. You can turn it off under Windows Security › App & browser control › Smart App Control settings, or wait for the signed release.
