This makes things a lot easier! Thanks for making this video!

[SlightlyTired]

Thanks again! Your videos are super helpful.

i subbed and hit the bell icon. WoW. Love this video. Now my Windows on my Deck is some much more compatible with my games. Oh mY

[feketto]

Side note: If u have enabled steam opening automatic to the background, exit it before installing HC. If you don’t so, it will break because of steam’s controller drivers.

Amazing video! Thank you for your help. Also, I would love to see how this would work with emulators.

[deshawnthomas]

Earned a sub. I see your dual boot video in the recommended too.

I was debating on not bothering and getting a laptop for gamepass stuff... but I think this is probably worth it now!

[lyhengi]

Great! Looks like I can uninstall SWICD and power control panel and try this!

[jontechie]

Nice review sir, question though does it have fan control? Also OSD setting for temperature, battery life and TDP watts like Steam Deck tools?

[jovaughnplays]

How has no youtuber make a video on steam deck tools? Thats the standard software for windows on deck. Gives you controller support, fan controls, tdp controls, refresh rate controls.. The works

[DeeKnow]

I messed with it but I still prefer Steam-Deck-Tools because of a list of little qol reasons. Major is being that if I have steam open and ever touch the steam key it opens big picture no matter what settings i take into steam or into HC.

[JavierSegura]

My problem with this over the steam deck tools is that you can't use the left track pad as a mouse, and you can't use the track pad presses as mouse clicks. Additionally, on many windows menus the triggers used for left clicks also act as "scrolling down" and so you end up moving things around accidentally a lot of times.

I downloaded it and went through the setup and reset my deck but when I launch it it just pops up the logo big in the middle of my screen then after a few seconds disappears and does nothing do you know how to fix

[brevoo]

WOW ! Thanks for this bro
Do u install the windows on sd card ?

[lucabon]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU YOU HAVE BEEN VERY VERY HELPFUL



May I ask why I don't see the option to enable trachpas as if it were the mouse on my program (I use Windows 10)

Looking forward to your reply thank you very much again and beautiful video you helped me so much :)))

[nonyabusiness]

I'm having issues with the controls I bf2042 the character looks up and down instead of moving forward and fifa 22 the b button to shoot pauses the game is there anything I needed to do to make the steam deck recognise the controls as an xbox controller?

[TheHazarduz]

This is a super helpful video! Thank you so much. +1 sub from me. :)

[scotchlobster]

Why do I have to hold the steam button down to get my mouse to work in the steam app? What did I do wrong?

[brandonnykiforuk]

Does anyone else have the problem of opening it but then it just doesn’t do anything after the hc logo and just goes back to the screen? Please help me

[rhaka-]

Great Video!. One Issue that I encountered is, when I set the refresh rate to 40hz, the touch screen seems to become unresponsive and can't be used, does this happen to you too? If yes, have you found a fix for that? Thanks!
