Moonlight, Deck controls not working
You might need to install ViGEmBus on your host computer, that's how Sunshine sees and uses the controller.

Touchpad Passthru not working after ViGEM Update
This problem on GitHub explains what I have also. Does anyone know how to fix this? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the newest ViGEm update (1.22), and restarting my computer, but nothing is working for me. Does anyone else have this problem as well? Thanks!

Any way to turn on the monitor remotely?
Get a dummy plug and mirror your monitor to it, or use this https://github.com/ge9/IddSampleDriver essentially the same thing but on a software level.

Help! Kid took my gaming room, is there a way to remote connect to my rig?
This is the way to go. In addition, you can setup a virtual display (I'm using [this](https://github.com/ge9/IddSampleDriver)) so you don't even need a monitor plugged in.

What's your preferred software for GPU-accelerated remote Windows desktop?
Honestly I'd reccomend moonlight with sunshine - although I can't say I've tested more than nvenc myself - it supports multiple encoders beyond nvec, and has a lot more performance tuning options ideal for a high bandwidth connection like a virtual bridge (which parsec is a bit less optimized for, and looks a bit blockier). It also doesn't need an online authentication, but still needs a dummy plug or this black magic

Monitoring system details for my Gaming VM through Grafana!
What is your host system? Since ESXI recognizes it and you could enable pass through without issue I’m thinking it is not BIOS related. I previously had issues with a different GPU on ESXI and it was immediately apparent something was wrong when you went to enable pass through (the checkboxes in the panel would go crazy, turned out to be a GPU map issue in ESXI). As for the display, it shouldn’t be necessary considering in its default state the M40 is intended for compute / CUDA tasks. Eventually you will need a display obviously, but out of the box if you’re just trying to confirm the GPU has loaded without issue a display is not necessary. For the display driver, I’m using IddSampleDriver, which works well (no HDR support, fyi)
