+Transform your Windows Computer into a Video Game console first, PC second! GamesDows is intended to emulate Steam OS's "Game Mode" as closely as possible.

+**New: Now with Decky Loader support for Windows!**
 
 **This script is a WIP. Currently, the main functionality works as intended. Steam Big Picture (or Playnite) launches automatically when the OS boots with high priority set as as the shell, then explorer starts automatically after a delay, which allows you to exit to desktop via the menu without needing to launch a shortcut for Explorer.exe first.**

 I will gladly take PRs to fix the 3 remaining issues if anyone knows how to solve them.
 
 **Note: If for any reason explorer doesn't start and you get a black screen and cannot view the desktop, it needs to be launched manually via task manager by launching explorer.exe. It needs to be set as the shell first before it is launched from task manager for the desktop to appear when launched a single time, otherwise it will just launch a file browser window. Due to this limitation, you must start explorer.exe twice from task manager to load the Desktop**

+# Decky Loader for Windows
+
+https://github.com/ACCESS-DENIIED/Decky-Loader-For-Windows
+
+ACCESS-DENIIED's Decky Install Scripts are now included with GamesDows! Just run the separate install-decky.bat to get Decky automatically installed and configured for Steam! **Please ensure Python and Steam have already  been installed and configured, and make sure to already be signed into Steam before running the install script for Decky!**
+
+**Please make sure to check the original thread for the caveats described by ACCESS-DENIIED, the author of the Decky install scripts:**
+
+https://www.reddit.com/r/WindowsOnDeck/comments/1hl40i5/i_created_a_python_script_to_install_decky_loader/
+
+Below is the description of these scripts from ACCESS-DENIIED's repo:
+
+A Work-in-progress Python-based installer and build system for Decky Loader on Windows. This tool automates the entire process of building, installing, and configuring Decky Loader - bringing the Steam Deck's popular plugin system to Windows.
+
+## Features
+- 🚀 Simple installation and build process
+- ⚙️ Automatic dependency management (Node.js, npm, pnpm, Python)
+- 🔧 Configures Steam for plugin development
+- 🏃‍♂️ Sets up autostart for PluginLoader
+- 📁 Creates proper homebrew directory structure
+- 💻 Builds both console and GUI executables
+
+## Requirements
+- Windows 10/11
+- Steam installation
+- Internet connection for downloading dependencies
+
+## Usage
+Download the files or the zip in the releases section, run the Enable GamesDows script for either Steam or Playnite. 
+
+If you would also like to install Decky Loader, run "install_decky.bat" as administrator and follow the prompts. This script is not necessary for GamesDows to function, it enables the Decky Loader plugin system for Steam. I've included it in this project as it brings Windows one step closer to Steam OS functionality.
