We are going to make the Aroma environment start automatically when your console autoboots the Health and Safety Information app (or when manually launching it if you chose not to autoboot it) and select Wii U Menu as default as well as getting additional homebrew apps. Please note that the following steps assumes you are autobooting the Health and Safety Information app.

### Blocking Updates

If you get a red warning screen while booting into Tiramisu, the update folder still exists and it is recommended to delete it using [this guide](../block-updates).
