Hey Steam Deck community. I’m hoping that I can get some help from the community.

  1. Is it possible to unlock my Windows PC remotely? I currently run Home Assistant, and have WOL setup so I can easily wake it, but without logging in, I can’t stream to my Steam Deck. Is there any way around that? I am not willing to remove the login password from my PC. This is the main thing I want to solve.

  2. Should stream via Steam or is there a better option? Moonlight?

  3. When you stop streaming from the deck, what happens to the game on the PC? Does it stop running?

Thanks in advance!

I use moonlight occasionally and it will let me login including for the first time when using nvidias drivers for the server if that is what you’re looking for

This seems to work ok. Thanks!
