# First Launch

The first launch can take longer than later launches.

The application may need to initialize runtime components and build GPU-related cache files.

### First launch checklist

* Confirm that the application folder is fully extracted.
* Confirm that the assets folder is present.
* Confirm that model files are present.
* Confirm that the NVIDIA GPU is active.
* Confirm that the NVIDIA driver is installed.
* Allow firewall access if prompted.
* Wait for first-time initialization to finish.

### SmartScreen notice

Windows SmartScreen may warn on internal or unsigned builds.

Only run the application if the package comes from a trusted source.
