<< Solved >> Trouble with High Sierra and NVRAM (Nvidia)

Hi All,
Well, I followed this tutorial:

nvidia-update - Simple way to install nVidia web drivers

Given the recent issues with official nVidia web driver releases (namely 387.10.10.10.25.156 and 387.10.10.10.25.157), I decided to put together a dead simple one-stop solution for updating to the latest reliable nVidia web drivers. It's called nvidia-update and hopefully makes life easier for...

www.tonymacx86.com

I successfully installed the NVIDIA drivers and the driver is set to 'NVIDIA Web Driver' in the NVIDIA Driver Manager.
The problem is that the system info has 5mb of memory. I have the WhateverGreen.kext and Lilu.kext in the '\EFI\CLOVER\kext\Other' folder.
I attached my config.plist, should be okay because I checked it by 100 times I guess

Am I missing something here?
(ASUS Z170 - GTX 1070)

Make sure you go into system preferences> Privacy & Security>General and ‘allow’ the Nvidia kexts to load

@canyondust I have nothing to 'Allow' ...

But the kexts are definitely installed, just not loading?

@canyondust
I've got:
(\EFI\CLOVER\kext\other\)

and
(\EFI\CLOVER\Drivers64UEFI\)

By kexts I meant the nvidia ones. (Installed but not loading)
If you're on Z170 you should have native NVRAM so get rid of EmuVariableUEFI-64.efi, and delete the RC scripts (search on tonymac for that) reboot and test nvram (search tonymac for that too). Update Lilu and whatevergreen and delete intelgraphicsfixup.kext. Not sure what ethernet you have but I doubt you need all 3 of those ethernet kexts, and you don't neex any of the XHCI- kexts, just usbinjectall (and only temporarily until you create a proper usbports.kext

Thanks! It's working now!
