vcredist VS SteamDeck-Clover-dualboot

p.s. I am not sure if this applies to you, but I heard 'unarc.dll' errors can potentially be fixed by installing... https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist/releases ; basically the "VisualCppRedist_AIO_x86_x64.exe". it's basically a all-in-one visual c++ as it makes all of that stuff up to date.

1) VC++ redist is corrupt, reinstall these

is this the one https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist?

hey man, just download this, then reboot your PC and it should do the trick.

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005-2008-2010-2012-2013-2022 Redistributable Package (forum.oszone.net, VisualCppRedist AIO Repack GitHub)

https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist/releases - this sorts out MS mess.

Then in order to update VC I recommend downloading the all in one pack make sure to grab v73 https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist/releases it will download every single VC redistributable & update existing ones.

You can, of course. For ease of use though, you I also suggest you configure a boot loader: https://github.com/ryanrudolfoba/SteamDeck-Clover-dualboot

I use Clover for dual-boot (SteamOS 3.5 and Windows 10) - https://github.com/ryanrudolfoba/SteamDeck-Clover-dualboot (release 15.10.2023) And I noticed that SteamOS loads much slower due to Clover - ~30 seconds to even over one minute. Windows 10 starts immediately. If I boot SteamOS directly from UEFI (Vol - + power button), the system starts almost immediately.

You may also find useful this project. It's a preconfigured Clover that can automatically reinstall itself after system upgrades. It automatically detects different OS on different drives and some OS are already preconfigured with beautiful icons. Works flawlessly for me, tested with Ventoy USB drive with multiple images and with Tails (Deck is an amazing device for anonymous Internet access!) on SDCard. The only things I adjusted were menu timeout and theme. I'm not sure if it's better or worse compared to refind.

I use SteamDeck-Clover-dualboot to manage a dual boot. Updates to either SteamOS or Windows will often mess with the boot priority, so installing this script on the SteamOS side tends to help. When one OS “takes over,” manually booting into SteamOS fixes it right up.
