Hi, can you use windows like this and have TPM and secure boot enabled ? I am planning to play some League and Valorant, and the anti cheat vanguard requires those
@Loaded0
@Loaded0 4 күн бұрын
I believe the Steam Deck doesn’t support secure boot so it probably won’t work. I have read that Windows 10 should work with their anticheat and it didn’t require TPM or secure boot so you can try making a Windows 10 drive instead.

Some models don’t have an extra slot so you can only upgrade the one current SSD.

Hi, I'm having a rough time getting this to work. Win 11 boots up and runs well (very well, in fact!) from my external SSD, but it won't seem to recognize any wifi capabilities. I've downloaded all of the drivers from Valve -- in particular, the recent OLED drivers for my OLED Steam Deck -- but Windows doesn't seem to install them automatically. Do all of those drivers need to be moved to a specific place in the Windows directory? Do they need to be unzipped before Windows can locate them? I'd appreciate the help. Success seems so close!
@Loaded0
@Loaded0 5 күн бұрын
Yes, Windows doesn’t install them automatically. You have to download them, unzip them, then follow the directions Valve provided. Some of them you need to run the setup and some just require you to right click a certain file and select the “install” command. Make sure you get the files and use the instructions from the Valve source: help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/6121-ECCD-D643-BAA8

Not really sure what you mean, but if it’s intermittently working it could be another app taking control of controller. Steam does this. So does other apps similar to handheld companion like reWASD or SWICD. If you have or had any of these installed you shouldn’t run them together or fully uninstall them.

There have been updates to the bios, AMD drivers, and Nvidia drivers since this video happened and I can tell you that it appears to still be working on my laptop so maybe you can try the latest versions and see if it fixes it. Also make sure you have hybrid graphics on in the bios before installing everything.

Most likely it’ll crash and restart or it could freeze which would require you to shut it down manually by holding down the power button. It shouldn’t cause any hardware problems though.

I downloaded this for Steamdeck, this thing is useless, always keeps stopping the service. Works fine for the first start, then if you exit the game and start a new one or if you disconnect and connect the controller just once, it never works again, have to restart the whole system. I dont know who makes these, its 2024 and fairly simple apps dont work as they should. Maybe I am doing something wrong, its possible, but the app should be simple to use, start once and thats it, no hassle to make it work everytime something new is run on the steamdeck.
@Loaded0
@Loaded0 24 күн бұрын
If you’re running your games through Steam or have Steam auto startup with Windows it could be the problem. It’s better to use the built in Steam Input in that case. Handheld Companion should mainly be used for games from other stores or launchers. Unfortunately Handheld Companion itself is basically a collection of individual software that all updates independently so things can break too.

Well, try a reinstall and make sure you give it all the permissions it needs. It’s best to start it with nothing else running like Steam. Especially on the first run as it configures everything. If it just doesn’t run at all usually the required Windows libraries didn’t get installed correctly.

Rufus should set no password or a blank password. If Windows asks you to set a password after booting you need to make one. They often change their startup requirements so I’m not sure what it’ll look like now. The last time I set it up it looked like it required my Microsoft account to login, but there was a small link that let me bypass that and create a local account instead which I chose to do.

@Loaded0

It's a little metal piece that attaches to the motherboard and elevates the SSD to be level. It also has the screw hole to secure the SSD from moving. Most laptops have it built into the motherboard so they can only take one size of SSD, but this laptop can accept different sizes by using this bracket.

Hey m8, great video. I would appreciate some advice: my friend has the same laptop and he asked me for help to upgrade his RAM. So we ordered 2x16GB DDR4 Kingston Fury RAM modules (1.2V of course). The laptop detects the new RAM with no issues, and it even passed the "quick diagnostics test" however when my friend actually uses his laptop normally, he gets the "your PC encountered an error and needs to restart" on a blue screen. It happens when multitasking. We tested the RAM modules individually and strangely no issues then. The problem only occurs when the 2 RAM modules are both inserted. Any idea what could be causing this?
@Loaded0
@Loaded0 Ай бұрын
Since they work individually I would think there might be a problem with the RAM slot. I’m guessing you used the bottom slot when testing one stick at a time. Try one stick in the top one if it stays in that way. It could be damaged or maybe just the contacts need to cleaned or dusted.

There’s a new bios 1.20 that just came out that I haven’t tested, but if you’re willing to risk a try you can do that one and apply any Nvidia and AMD updates too before trying a rollback. I’ve updated mine a few times from this video and luckily haven’t lost brightness controls yet.

If you’re adding the storage to the second slot you don’t have to do any data transfer. It’ll show up as a second drive (usually D:) in Windows. If you want to replace the drive in the original slot or want to use the new drive as the main Windows drive you’ll need to do a data transfer. Most new name brand SSDs will let you download their data transfer app for free and run you through the process if that’s what you want to do.

Let Windows take care of everything it want to in the background then try a battery life test in low power mode. Let me know if it helps.

No, it doesn’t work any better than Gen 3. Some Gen 4 drives can be found pretty cheap though especially if they’re the slower speed ones so you should shop around for both. A slow Gen 4 can be about the speed of a fast Gen 3 and be a better price sometimes.
