Steam Deck Windows NEW Ultimate Guide | MUST SEE Windows 10 and 11

Thanks a lot. Good helpful video. Personally i prefer playing on SteamOS but i like windows for other things. A little tip, if you hold down the shift key and select restart it will restart in advanced startup. But your way is also good to know. Thanks again!!

which wondows is better performing on steam deck win10 or 11 ?

علي Ali

I'm getting so tired of Steam OS SHlT keeps bricking everytime I update the Steam OS

It's conflicting with Steam input... so whenever I want to play window only games I have to close steam first. It's kinda annoying because I don't have to do that on other device.

I couldnt find the file ccc2 when trying to get the controle center 😢any help

Does handheld companion perform as well on tiny11 as original windows 11?

You should try talking much slower and move slower smh

I got much better performance on my deck by setting the UMA to 2gb, might be worth a try

Guys, tell me in general, windows 10 replaces well steam os or there are bugs and problems?
I'm just thinking about steam deck as a replacement for the computer for gaming and a device to which I can connect a monitor, keyboard, mouse.
Thank you for answers!

Had a question about the resolution on the deck mate app when I try and change it nothing happens is that normal or do you have to go to a different settings I can change refresh rate but not resolution

thanks for providing an option that doesn't make my anti virus freak out!

Thanks so much
Install windows mostly for games and didn't know how to get rid of some unwanted apps
This really helped me

Wish you could tell me what apps to delete

Is only me who noticed this guy's BIG ASS hands? Like it's his holding a gameboy. My G who are you a 9 foot Titan? Like what? 😂😂 Joke aside thanks for the video

Have you try the “Steam Deck tools”? Would you recommend it compare to the handheld companion?

My deck doesn’t recognize my controller plz help it don’t let me customize the hot keys to disable to mouse when playing

Lizard mode dont appear on mines 😢

So I'm about to try to Install windows on my deck, but I use a 512 gb SD Card in the 64gb model.

Would it be possible?

BTW, great channel, you give really useful tips to properly configure our steam decks.

If I've set/configured steam deck controller in WIN steam app already, will it conflict to the new app Handheld Companion?

This is a very good guide. Handheld companion in particular is a must. I think it replaces any other controller drivers and performance tool bundles with just 1 slick app.
This was the key for non steam games like roblox that were otherwise difficult to get working with the controller.

Skip the recovery for the bios part. Just shut down then hold down vol+ while turning it back on. Way quicker.

I installed ccc2 but amd settings not showing only amd software: adrenaline edition and when I click that I get missing .DLL errors and they also show immediately when windows 11 starts? Can I remove this?

Which is better for steam deck win 10 or win 11?

can you use Handheld companion and GampadUI at the same time?

Im getting issues when I installed windows on my steamdeck. the bluetooth cant search my DS4 controller I dont know. But when I try on my laptop I can search my controller just fine. But in steamdeck its unsearchable.

I got the hc to work thank u, any idea how to use the track pad for aiming?

Hello, when I start a game handheld companion is still using the desktop layout settings ie R2 is still left mouse click…..

I try to play war zone etc and the buttons make the keyboard pop up or open other things along with trying to shoot ive been doing download after download haven’t played a game yet

How do you get the overlay to pop up?

when I use handheld companion why does it disable the steam track pad input even when steam is open
because of this I have to use lizard mode which is annoying to turn on and off I also can't even use the left trackpad as a scroll wheel because of it

Hello. I use Windows 10 Home to have a question. I'm going to 11 versions with upgrade. However, I am having problems with controllers. I downloaded and installed the drivers on the Steam site. I installed a swıcd driver. Then I discovered the Handheld Companion product. I also installed the Handheld program. However, although none of this is, there is a controller named Neptune in Steam application. If I can activate one of these programs, the Xbox 360 adds a new controller. And my keys are working corrupt. What should I do about it?

BRO , WHEN I OPEN WINDOWS 10 IN MY STEAM DECK AFTER INSTALLING AMD APPLICATION AND RESTARTING TO WINDOWS , THEN ONE MASSAGE SHOWING AND MY WINDOWS NOT OPENING . MASSAG IS "PREPARING AUTOMATIC REPAIR" . my steamOS opening with no problems , but my winows 10 not opening in steam deck , showing massage (preparing automatic repair) .

HELP ME........

This video is amazing, is there a way to allow scroll and click pads to work in Windows 10 environment?

This is just more proof that you should just stick with SteamOS.

Could you explain what exactly happens when installing windows?
Does SteamOS gets removed as soon as windows is installed?
When i install Windows, do i have the opportunity to switch to it via "Switch to Desktop Mode" or is it only a windows only device after installation?

Win10 or Win11 is recommended for steam deck?

Can the handheld companion work with fifa23, I tried it and am getting a black screen with game running in the background. Can you try it with fifa23 thanks

Do you have to remove swicd to use HC companion. Thanks

Please stop telling people to set their virtual ram so low. You are telling people to set it to 11000 and I have to tell SO many people to switch it back to automatic or increase it much higher because they get crashing. I just had another user with this issue today. If you're going to set a static paging file, set it much higher than that (24gb or 30gb), but I would advocate for most of everything, a static paging file on the internal SSD is not needed(only really needed on micro SD installs)

Almost revert back to steam os because how bad windows is on my steam deck before i saw your channel...
Thanks a lot mate, appreciate it

Now if only it has a fan speed control

hi.i have a pirate question sorry hope you to answer..my friend dual boot my setup windows and steam os on a 512 ssd.and i have 512 sd card..my friend put some pirate games on my sdcard to play on windows..but i delete some games since i dont like what he put on my sdcard games so i download a pirate game.installed in on my pc and transfer to my micro sd.but when i put back my sdcard to steamdeck.the folder disapear and still occupying its space.what should i do.? i cant locate it.

The newer amd drivers work for the newer values windows apu drivers

It would be good if you can record the screen instead of holding it while talking. It kinds of shaking and make the word on screen hard to read
