Now that PayloadLoader, Environment Loader and Aroma are installed, we are going to finalize the setup.
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.

1. Launch the EnvironmentLoader.
- If you are autobooting the PayloadLoader, simply turn on your Wii U.
- If you skipped the autobooting steps, launch the Health and Safety Information app.

### Blocking Updates
While Aroma's PayloadLoader already has built-in update blocking functionality, it is recommended to delete the update folder to effectively block system 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).
