# DriverPack Catalog Auto-Update

In previous versions of OSDCloud, DriverPack Catalogs were compiled and converted into JSON format, known as the OSDCloud DriverPack Catalog. This format sometimes required some time to build before being published in an updated OSDCloud, leading to out of date or unavailable DriverPacks as newer versions were published.

## OSDCloud Comparison

| Function            | Module       | Version  | Status      |
| ------------------- | ------------ | -------- | ----------- |

| Start-OSDCloud\*    | OSD          | -        | Not Planned |

## Feature

OSDCloud will download the latest OEM DriverPack Catalog directly from the OEM to ensure the latest DriverPacks are available. This update is transparent during normal use and only visible when using the following command when launching OSDCloud.

```powershell
Deploy-OSDCloud -Verbose
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.osdcloud.com/features/driverpack-catalog-auto-update.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
