Windows-11-Guide VS UWPHook

For those who plan on using Windows on their Steam Deck please follow this Windows Guide.

Some useful Tools & Resources to make you're Windows 10/11 more secure.

Edit: here's UWPHook to link gamepass games to steam https://github.com/BrianLima/UWPHook

Use UWP HOOK to allow you to add windows store uwp games to steam as a non steam game.

I used this https://github.com/BrianLima/UWPHook

It's usually difficult because Microsoft UWP DRM on them so you needing tools like UWPHook & other workarounds that have 50% success rate at most. There are rare Gamepass games that don't have UWP so it won't be a problem for them.

You could try using https://github.com/BrianLima/UWPHook this program and testing it. I really doubt it'll work, the VR tag is just a categorisation thing and so it shows up on the HMD page. It doesn't actually trigger any VR capabilities.

Microsoft : This is worst with all from above and you need https://github.com/BrianLima/UWPHook to be able to play against Microsoft DRM.

Another option that could potentially work is to use UWPHook to add your Xbox Game-Pass games to Steam and then simply use Steam Link to stream these games.

There's a nifty little utility called UWP Hook (https://github.com/BrianLima/UWPHook) that scans your Windows Apps and lets you pick them from a drop-down to add to Steam, but there have been a rare couple games that absolutely refuse to show up on the list so i made a bit of a convoluted extra step to gain access privileges to the gamepass install folder and add them from there when needed.
