Among them, the new beta update adds fTPM support for Windows 11. To install the Windows 11 system, you need to meet Microsoft’s TPM requirements. This time, fTPM is enabled on the AMD custom SoC, which lays the foundation for users to install Windows 11.

However, if you plan to install Windows 11 on Steam Deck, there are still some unresolved issues. The driver set for Steam Deck is still incomplete and the audio driver is still in development. Several bugs have also been found in Valve’s current Windows drivers for Steam Deck, making the Windows experience on Steam Deck incomplete.

In addition to this, this update also adds the following features:

• Dual trackpad keyboard, users can enter two letters at a time with their thumbs; a full-size virtual keyboard has been added to Linux desktop mode;

• Fixed Wi-Fi, now automatically connects and reconnects without prompting to re-enter saved passwords;

• Now users can manually adjust the joystick dead zone and touchpad feedback strength;

• USB-C fix in BIOS. Users can now hold “…” plus volume down keys to retry Steam Deck and USB-C powered connections;

• Users can now remove the framerate cap (which drains the battery quickly);

• Users can now restart the Steam client directly from the power menu when encountering an error;

• Improvements to SD memory card compatibility;

• The power LED dims for a few seconds after charging for a better experience in dark environments.
