Switch your stream quality back to "Balanced" and then do a network test, and you should see the results afterwards.

After installing the latest update, I began experiencing BSOD errors with the message "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" on Windows 11. I will monitor, maybe issue in something else

Switched to balanced. I'm only getting frame loss (0%), network time (3.38ms) and network variance (3.29ms) in the results though, no recommendations appearing

Sorry, I meant switch bandwidth to automatic. If you've manually set your bandwidth then it'll respect that setting and not suggest others.

It seems I had to reset the streaming settings to default to get the 'would u like to optimise your streaming settings for higher quality' prompt. Otherwise I would get either the frame time data or the successful test at 30mbps message.

I'm still getting the unresponsive keyboard and mouse error with steam link/moonlight/sunshine on build versions after this

Sorry to (potentially) thread-hijack, but...can you use a Steam Link as a Sunshine client?

I've been wondering if I should look into Moonlight/Sunshine 'cause I love the form factor of the Steam Link but a full-blown Steam client is a pretty heavy lift for some of my machines, if the only reason it's installed is a glorified VNC service.
