How would you handle a situation where we have to restart our system, so that a change can take place in software? For example, if you use BatCenter to install our tools from GitHub directly through CMD, you need to log off/log on so it can work properly. That is where the EnvUpdate plugin comes into play, as it removes the need to actually restart or log off. This program can update environment settings without rebooting or logging off, using the WM_SETTINGCHANGE system calls. This plugin is created by Anic17. You can download this plugin from our GitHub.
