Steam Link now available on Windows 10

[slouken]

The Steam Link app is now available for Windows 10 and 11. A wired network is strongly recommended.

You can download the installer from Valve:

Would've been nice if it was mentioned somewhere that this piece of dogsh*t automatically force-reboots your PC WITHOUT ASKING during installation. I just lost 2 days worth of work thanks to this trash

I did not have this issue running setup.

Any advantage to using the desktop software vs the Steam link hardware?

One I can think of is if you have a lot of Non-steam games you like to stream your cutom artwork will show up on steam link but not the desktop version. The desktop version will be blank and sometimes a little confusing looking. Its small but it is nice to have them.

This app works perfectly as native way of remoting into a Steam Deck - works for both Desktop and Game Modes.

Valve should definitely be promoting this!

I disagree, do you know how many people out there will try to lick their own elbow if told it is impossible or if told it was possible?

the moment large numbers of people start using this, the more weird things will happen? and then tell nobody about them??

for example, 100% of the time some of the time starting steam link and then connecting it to my steam deck will cause my steam deck to reboot, verify installation and it will then be happy to accommodate using the steam link software on it.
it was not like this initially, but it is weird that it does now.

i have kept this secret until now, you are the first to hear of this.

i think that for the moment it should be worked on until stability and ease of use improves.
unless the problem is on the steam deck. then i will have to admit that i am wrong.

Thank you so much for this windows version of the Steam Link - I was able to use my Microsoft Surface Pro tablet as a wireless display thanks to you.

Using this to remotely control my Steam Deck. Nice.

Just click on "Or get the app for..."

How do you get to desktop when in Steam Link? I never found out how?

Getting to the Windows desktop is very useful because it also allows you to stream non-Steam games that don't work well when added to your Steam Library.
To get to the desktop of the windows host with the normal Steam client, you would have to add notepad.exe to your library, stream it and then press Alt+Space to minimize it. When you want to stop streaming, you would need to close that notepad window.
Needless to say it's quite tedious and not very welcoming to a casual user getting into PC gaming.

With the Steam Link app, it's a lot easier:

All I do is open the Steam Menu in game and then minimise Big Picture Mode. Boom, you're looking at your desktop.

One just needs to minimize Big picture Mode and your at the desktop when using a Steam Link.

Awesome! Thank you! This made Steam Remote Play work for me! I installed it on my client PC.

The great thing about the Steam Link app on a Windows PC is that I can sleep the host pc when I'm done. This isn't possible when the full client is installed and using remote play. I really wish that ability was there.

My options are basically one or the other. So I can either leave steam on my mini pc in big picture mode all the time or in steam link app all the time.

I'm using an Xbox One Controller with PC adapter plugged in, but I could also see where folks would want BT working as well.

Is there a better way to suggest this feature/ability for remote play?

why steam don't have a special page to download this version to our pc's-

Valve link no longer works!
