What's new in this version:
Windows Repair 4.4.3
- Fixed bug causing windows defender to stop working in the latest version of windows 10. If you had this bug happen to you just run the repairs again and windows defender will work again
Windows Repair 4.4.2
- Updated default registry and file permissions for Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 as of Jan 22nd 2019

Windows Repair 4.4.0
Critical Update:
- There is a bug in Windows 10 build 1809 where using the bcdedit command to reboot the system into safe mode doesn't clear the registry keys for the safe boot option after the command has been removed
- Because of this when you reboot into normal mode many services wont start because Windows thinks it is still in safe mode even though it isn't. This kept almost everything from working correctly
- The program has been updated to auto remove these keys so Windows doesn't get stuck thinking it is in safe mode
- I have also added the file "remove_stuck_safemode.reg" under the program folder, filesregfiles folder. You can use this file manually if needed

Steam 15.12.2017
- Additional fixes for newly reported issues
Steam 13.12.2017
General:
-New feature: Shader Pre-Caching. Whenever possible, depending on hardware and driver support, Steam can download pre-compiled shaders for your specific video card. This reduces load times and in-game stuttering during the first few launches of OpenGL- and Vulkan-based games on supported hardware. This feature may use a small amount of additional bandwidth as Steam uploads and analyzes a shader usage report after each run of the game. The feature can be disabled via a new entry in the Settings dialog.
-Fixed issues with full-screen mode not scaling video content correctly in the Steam Client
-Fixed a UI issue that made it difficult to install new games if a previous installation dialog box was still active
-Fixed several rare crashes and hangs reported by customers
-Updated web views to Chromium v62.0.3202.62
Windows:
- Fixed an issue where the Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR drivers would sometimes not install correctly
- Fixed a bug where launching a game could cause the primary monitor to switch as if Big Picture mode were active, even though it is not
macOS:
- Fixed a crash on startup that could occur if a different application was previously set to autostart, and then did not clean up its autostart entry correctly
Linux:
- Fixed creating desktop and application menu shortcuts
- Added detection and a workaround for certain titles that shipped with broken Steamworks SDK libraries
SteamVR:
- Fixed the occasional brief appearance of a blank console window when starting Steam or launching a VR game
Steam Input:
- Changed Per-Game Steam Input opt-out setting to allow Force On or Force Off per game in addition to the global controller type based settings. This means you can turn on configuration for a single game while globally leaving configuration settings off.
- Added “Launcher Mode” for controllers which are not opted in to Steam Input Configuration. If we detect that the game is in a launcher, the right stick and right trigger will act as a mouse/trigger respectively, allowing the user to navigate the launch with a controller until they get into the game proper. This feature can be disabled by selecting the “Force Off” option in controller settings for the game in the Big Picture controls.
- Added "Always On" binding for setting bindings to take effect when an action set or layer is enabled. This can be used to set up modifier keys that are always active in a layer, changing LED brightness or color based on a set or layer, etc. and can also interact with activators to do start press behavior or turbo, for example.
- Added new tab in Configuration Browser for configs exported by your Steam Friends. These configs will now also show up in the community tab even if they would otherwise not qualify to be shown when ranked by votes or playtime. Note that only exported configs will show up, not personal configs.
- Added an "Empty Binding" binding action intended for use in layers. Essentially this is a special binding that does absolutely nothing, so bindings can be removed from a layer, as the default state of layering "nothing" means use whatever is below that layer. This special binding can also be detected by radial menus and will eliminate that item from being available in the menu.
- Added a “Remove Icon” option to the radial/touch menu icon selection screen.
- Added a binding to set LED color according to Xinput slot
- Reworked detection of windows requiring Lizard Mode for the Steam Controller. Also added a bindable Lizard Mode toggle action.
- Added support for several dozen Xbox-compatible controllers via data collected from users. These controllers are now treated as Xbox controllers instead of generic gamepads.
- Added support for several PS4 controllers: HORI TAC4, HORI TAC PRO, Hitbox PS4 Arcade Stick, and Venom PS4 Arcade Stick
- Fixed a configuration UI error where native actions could be selected in non-native games
- Fixed a bug where source-specific default changes weren't propagated correctly through layers

Steam 17.10.2017
- Fixes for issues present in the original October 11 release, including a fix for black/non-responsive Store and Community pages
Steam 11.10.2017
General:
- Improved stability based on top crash reports and support tickets
- Reduced CPU usage and battery impact when Steam is running in the background
- Removed notification popups when friends are using software from the "Tools" category
Windows:
- Fixed excessive blurriness in Big Picture mode on high-DPI monitors under Windows 10
- Improved in-game overlay compatibility with the latest Insider builds of Windows 10
- Added DPI-based scaling for text and basic UI elements in the in-game overlay
Steam Input:
- Added Action Set Layers feature
- Action Sets can now have layers nested within them. These act like Photoshop Layers on an image. Layers allow for quick modifications both big and small of an existing action set
- Each layer can draw from the actions that are defined by that action set
- Layers can be stacked arbitrarily deep
- Each layer can modify settings or replace modes/bindings of the action set or layers below it in the stack.
- Changes made to the base Action Set are treated as the "default" for a layer, so modifications to a setting of the Action Set will be reflected in the layer unless it specifically modifies that setting itself. Settings within the layer that are "reset to default" will use the setting of the base action set.
- Action Set Layers will be available as an option to developers creating Native Steam Input API games in a future SDK.
- Transitions across action sets, layers, and mode shifts will now maintain state if applicable. As an example, if the same action/output is bound across the boundaries of these sets, rather than being un-pressed and immediately pressed on this transition, it will continue to be held if bound to a pressed button in both sets.
- Activators which have matching Activators across action set/layer/mode shift boundaries will also carry over state, so if the same activator exists across these boundaries, a "long press" which has been pressed but not yet activated will maintain timing information. Likewise, if an output is already active coming from a previous set, a long press/double press/start press etc. which would fire the same output won't be restarted across those boundaries.
- Action set/layer activation binding now fires on the activation, rather than deactivation of the input it's attached to. The old behavior helped to prevent feedback loops of action set/layer changes, but was not in line with other input. This may be a breaking change for certain configurations, as activators like long presses will engage the action set change when the activator activates instead of when the button is released after activating, but it also matches behavior of all other bindings and fixes a number of issues with regards to various activation types. Prevention of feedback loops is now handled automatically, buttons which share action set changes on the same input will not fire when entering the new set/layer.

- Fixed an issue when combining gyro input with trackpad or joystick input on Linux
- Added A/B/X/Y buttons as options for enabling gyro input
- Fixed an issue where disconnected Steam Controllers that had been connected via the wireless receiver could continue to show up as connected
- On Windows, Xbox controllers not present in our current USB VID/PID Whitelist will now be detected as Xbox controllers and will fall back to using the “Xbox Configuration Support” checkbox instead of “Generic Gamepad Support”. The list of officially support Xbox and PS4 controllers can be found here on our support website. If you have a controller that is missing from this list please report it in the Steam Controller bug reports forum

Steam Controller:
- Added XBox 360, Xbox One, and Generic X-Input controller configurator support. This allows all recognized controller types to use the advanced mapping features of the Steam Controller Configurator. Note that because X-Input currently lacks per-controller means of unique identification, all controllers of that type will share personalization and configuration settings. As they share the same inputs, Xbox 360/One/Generic controllers will all see each-others configurations when browsing. Automatic conversion will be attempted when loading configurations from other controller types
- Unrecognized Generic X-Input gamepad style controllers will be recognized by the Steam Controller Configurator once their buttons have been assigned to match a generic gamepad layout

Steam Controller:
- Added "Set Cursor Position" binding controller action. This allows an arbitrary X/Y position to be moved to on a button press and optionally warp back to the original position on release. When combined with a click via either multi-binding or an additional activator, allows for on-screen UI to be bound to buttons even if they have no hotkey. Multiple Set Cursor Position inputs can be multi-bound to a single button allowing cursor position binding cycling.
- Scroll wheel Mode on Joystick now ignores the joystick returning to the center position when doing horizontal/vertical scrolling. This allows for bindings to be cycled through scroll wheel on left/right or up/down taps.

Steam 26.03.2018
- Additional fixes
Steam 15.12.2017
- Additional fixes for newly reported issues
Steam 13.12.2017
General:
-New feature: Shader Pre-Caching. Whenever possible, depending on hardware and driver support, Steam can download pre-compiled shaders for your specific video card. This reduces load times and in-game stuttering during the first few launches of OpenGL- and Vulkan-based games on supported hardware. This feature may use a small amount of additional bandwidth as Steam uploads and analyzes a shader usage report after each run of the game. The feature can be disabled via a new entry in the Settings dialog.
-Fixed issues with full-screen mode not scaling video content correctly in the Steam Client
-Fixed a UI issue that made it difficult to install new games if a previous installation dialog box was still active
-Fixed several rare crashes and hangs reported by customers
-Updated web views to Chromium v62.0.3202.62
Windows:
- Fixed an issue where the Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR drivers would sometimes not install correctly
- Fixed a bug where launching a game could cause the primary monitor to switch as if Big Picture mode were active, even though it is not
macOS:
- Fixed a crash on startup that could occur if a different application was previously set to autostart, and then did not clean up its autostart entry correctly
Linux:
- Fixed creating desktop and application menu shortcuts
- Added detection and a workaround for certain titles that shipped with broken Steamworks SDK libraries
SteamVR:
- Fixed the occasional brief appearance of a blank console window when starting Steam or launching a VR game
Steam Input:
- Changed Per-Game Steam Input opt-out setting to allow Force On or Force Off per game in addition to the global controller type based settings. This means you can turn on configuration for a single game while globally leaving configuration settings off.
- Added “Launcher Mode” for controllers which are not opted in to Steam Input Configuration. If we detect that the game is in a launcher, the right stick and right trigger will act as a mouse/trigger respectively, allowing the user to navigate the launch with a controller until they get into the game proper. This feature can be disabled by selecting the “Force Off” option in controller settings for the game in the Big Picture controls.
- Added "Always On" binding for setting bindings to take effect when an action set or layer is enabled. This can be used to set up modifier keys that are always active in a layer, changing LED brightness or color based on a set or layer, etc. and can also interact with activators to do start press behavior or turbo, for example.
- Added new tab in Configuration Browser for configs exported by your Steam Friends. These configs will now also show up in the community tab even if they would otherwise not qualify to be shown when ranked by votes or playtime. Note that only exported configs will show up, not personal configs.
- Added an "Empty Binding" binding action intended for use in layers. Essentially this is a special binding that does absolutely nothing, so bindings can be removed from a layer, as the default state of layering "nothing" means use whatever is below that layer. This special binding can also be detected by radial menus and will eliminate that item from being available in the menu.
- Added a “Remove Icon” option to the radial/touch menu icon selection screen.
- Added a binding to set LED color according to Xinput slot
- Reworked detection of windows requiring Lizard Mode for the Steam Controller. Also added a bindable Lizard Mode toggle action.
- Added support for several dozen Xbox-compatible controllers via data collected from users. These controllers are now treated as Xbox controllers instead of generic gamepads.

Steam 17.10.2017
- Fixes for issues present in the original October 11 release, including a fix for black/non-responsive Store and Community pages
Steam 11.10.2017
General:
- Improved stability based on top crash reports and support tickets
- Reduced CPU usage and battery impact when Steam is running in the background
- Removed notification popups when friends are using software from the "Tools" category
Windows:
- Fixed excessive blurriness in Big Picture mode on high-DPI monitors under Windows 10
- Improved in-game overlay compatibility with the latest Insider builds of Windows 10
- Added DPI-based scaling for text and basic UI elements in the in-game overlay
Steam Input:
- Added Action Set Layers feature
- Action Sets can now have layers nested within them. These act like Photoshop Layers on an image. Layers allow for quick modifications both big and small of an existing action set
- Each layer can draw from the actions that are defined by that action set
- Layers can be stacked arbitrarily deep
- Each layer can modify settings or replace modes/bindings of the action set or layers below it in the stack.
- Changes made to the base Action Set are treated as the "default" for a layer, so modifications to a setting of the Action Set will be reflected in the layer unless it specifically modifies that setting itself. Settings within the layer that are "reset to default" will use the setting of the base action set.
- Action Set Layers will be available as an option to developers creating Native Steam Input API games in a future SDK.
- Transitions across action sets, layers, and mode shifts will now maintain state if applicable. As an example, if the same action/output is bound across the boundaries of these sets, rather than being un-pressed and immediately pressed on this transition, it will continue to be held if bound to a pressed button in both sets.
- Activators which have matching Activators across action set/layer/mode shift boundaries will also carry over state, so if the same activator exists across these boundaries, a "long press" which has been pressed but not yet activated will maintain timing information. Likewise, if an output is already active coming from a previous set, a long press/double press/start press etc. which would fire the same output won't be restarted across those boundaries.
- Action set/layer activation binding now fires on the activation, rather than deactivation of the input it's attached to. The old behavior helped to prevent feedback loops of action set/layer changes, but was not in line with other input. This may be a breaking change for certain configurations, as activators like long presses will engage the action set change when the activator activates instead of when the button is released after activating, but it also matches behavior of all other bindings and fixes a number of issues with regards to various activation types. Prevention of feedback loops is now handled automatically, buttons which share action set changes on the same input will not fire when entering the new set/layer.

Steam 26.03.2018
- Additional fixes
Steam 15.12.2017
- Additional fixes for newly reported issues
Steam 13.12.2017
General:
-New feature: Shader Pre-Caching. Whenever possible, depending on hardware and driver support, Steam can download pre-compiled shaders for your specific video card. This reduces load times and in-game stuttering during the first few launches of OpenGL- and Vulkan-based games on supported hardware. This feature may use a small amount of additional bandwidth as Steam uploads and analyzes a shader usage report after each run of the game. The feature can be disabled via a new entry in the Settings dialog.
-Fixed issues with full-screen mode not scaling video content correctly in the Steam Client
-Fixed a UI issue that made it difficult to install new games if a previous installation dialog box was still active
-Fixed several rare crashes and hangs reported by customers
-Updated web views to Chromium v62.0.3202.62
Windows:
- Fixed an issue where the Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR drivers would sometimes not install correctly
- Fixed a bug where launching a game could cause the primary monitor to switch as if Big Picture mode were active, even though it is not
macOS:
- Fixed a crash on startup that could occur if a different application was previously set to autostart, and then did not clean up its autostart entry correctly
Linux:
- Fixed creating desktop and application menu shortcuts
- Added detection and a workaround for certain titles that shipped with broken Steamworks SDK libraries
SteamVR:
- Fixed the occasional brief appearance of a blank console window when starting Steam or launching a VR game
Steam Input:
- Changed Per-Game Steam Input opt-out setting to allow Force On or Force Off per game in addition to the global controller type based settings. This means you can turn on configuration for a single game while globally leaving configuration settings off.
- Added “Launcher Mode” for controllers which are not opted in to Steam Input Configuration. If we detect that the game is in a launcher, the right stick and right trigger will act as a mouse/trigger respectively, allowing the user to navigate the launch with a controller until they get into the game proper. This feature can be disabled by selecting the “Force Off” option in controller settings for the game in the Big Picture controls.
- Added "Always On" binding for setting bindings to take effect when an action set or layer is enabled. This can be used to set up modifier keys that are always active in a layer, changing LED brightness or color based on a set or layer, etc. and can also interact with activators to do start press behavior or turbo, for example.
- Added new tab in Configuration Browser for configs exported by your Steam Friends. These configs will now also show up in the community tab even if they would otherwise not qualify to be shown when ranked by votes or playtime. Note that only exported configs will show up, not personal configs.
- Added an "Empty Binding" binding action intended for use in layers. Essentially this is a special binding that does absolutely nothing, so bindings can be removed from a layer, as the default state of layering "nothing" means use whatever is below that layer. This special binding can also be detected by radial menus and will eliminate that item from being available in the menu.
- Added a “Remove Icon” option to the radial/touch menu icon selection screen.
- Added a binding to set LED color according to Xinput slot
- Reworked detection of windows requiring Lizard Mode for the Steam Controller. Also added a bindable Lizard Mode toggle action.
- Added support for several dozen Xbox-compatible controllers via data collected from users. These controllers are now treated as Xbox controllers instead of generic gamepads.
- Added support for several PS4 controllers: HORI TAC4, HORI TAC PRO, Hitbox PS4 Arcade Stick, and Venom PS4 Arcade Stick

Steam 17.10.2017
- Fixes for issues present in the original October 11 release, including a fix for black/non-responsive Store and Community pages
Steam 11.10.2017
General:
- Improved stability based on top crash reports and support tickets
- Reduced CPU usage and battery impact when Steam is running in the background
- Removed notification popups when friends are using software from the "Tools" category
Windows:
- Fixed excessive blurriness in Big Picture mode on high-DPI monitors under Windows 10
- Improved in-game overlay compatibility with the latest Insider builds of Windows 10
- Added DPI-based scaling for text and basic UI elements in the in-game overlay
Steam Input:
- Added Action Set Layers feature
- Action Sets can now have layers nested within them. These act like Photoshop Layers on an image. Layers allow for quick modifications both big and small of an existing action set
- Each layer can draw from the actions that are defined by that action set
- Layers can be stacked arbitrarily deep
- Each layer can modify settings or replace modes/bindings of the action set or layers below it in the stack.
- Changes made to the base Action Set are treated as the "default" for a layer, so modifications to a setting of the Action Set will be reflected in the layer unless it specifically modifies that setting itself. Settings within the layer that are "reset to default" will use the setting of the base action set.
- Action Set Layers will be available as an option to developers creating Native Steam Input API games in a future SDK.
- Transitions across action sets, layers, and mode shifts will now maintain state if applicable. As an example, if the same action/output is bound across the boundaries of these sets, rather than being un-pressed and immediately pressed on this transition, it will continue to be held if bound to a pressed button in both sets.
- Activators which have matching Activators across action set/layer/mode shift boundaries will also carry over state, so if the same activator exists across these boundaries, a "long press" which has been pressed but not yet activated will maintain timing information. Likewise, if an output is already active coming from a previous set, a long press/double press/start press etc. which would fire the same output won't be restarted across those boundaries.
- Action set/layer activation binding now fires on the activation, rather than deactivation of the input it's attached to. The old behavior helped to prevent feedback loops of action set/layer changes, but was not in line with other input. This may be a breaking change for certain configurations, as activators like long presses will engage the action set change when the activator activates instead of when the button is released after activating, but it also matches behavior of all other bindings and fixes a number of issues with regards to various activation types. Prevention of feedback loops is now handled automatically, buttons which share action set changes on the same input will not fire when entering the new set/layer.

- Added A/B/X/Y buttons as options for enabling gyro input
- Fixed an issue where disconnected Steam Controllers that had been connected via the wireless receiver could continue to show up as connected
- On Windows, Xbox controllers not present in our current USB VID/PID Whitelist will now be detected as Xbox controllers and will fall back to using the “Xbox Configuration Support” checkbox instead of “Generic Gamepad Support”. The list of officially support Xbox and PS4 controllers can be found here on our support website. If you have a controller that is missing from this list please report it in the Steam Controller bug reports forum

When offline, edits are local only and will not be uploaded to the cloud. When returning to online mode, the previous online configuration will be restored, but your saved local edits will be available for selection
- Added Controller Config Preview. When importing a configuration, it will now be previewed first and then it can be accepted or backed out without applying the configuration. While previewing a configuration, all its settings can be viewed, but not changed
- Added Steam Controller Configuration Links. When browsing configurations, a link can now be copied to the clipboard by pressing the Start button or Control+C. Following this Steam link will how the configuration and it can be optionally applied to the game it corresponds to. This link can be opened via a browser or at the commandline. From the command line, use "start [link]" in Windows, "open [link]" in OSX, and "xdg-open [link]" in SteamOS/Linux. Note that a controller must be active to apply a configuration. Links will be shown in the controller type they were created for, but will be converted to the controller type they are being applied to on application

Steam Controller:
- Added XBox 360, Xbox One, and Generic X-Input controller configurator support. This allows all recognized controller types to use the advanced mapping features of the Steam Controller Configurator. Note that because X-Input currently lacks per-controller means of unique identification, all controllers of that type will share personalization and configuration settings. As they share the same inputs, Xbox 360/One/Generic controllers will all see each-others configurations when browsing. Automatic conversion will be attempted when loading configurations from other controller types
- Unrecognized Generic X-Input gamepad style controllers will be recognized by the Steam Controller Configurator once their buttons have been assigned to match a generic gamepad layout
- Recommended configurations specified for a game by the developer will now attempt to assign based on Controller Type
- Added option to disable Guide Button issuing a Steam focus change. This is available through the Big Picture controller options menu. This allows better interoperability with other applications which use the Guide Button, such as PSNow

- Fixed cases where playing a free game could trigger Family Sharing error messages
In-Home Streaming:
- Added support for spectating VR games from the Steam Link, mirroring the VR player's viewpoint
Steam Controller:
- Added "Set Cursor Position" binding controller action. This allows an arbitrary X/Y position to be moved to on a button press and optionally warp back to the original position on release. When combined with a click via either multi-binding or an additional activator, allows for on-screen UI to be bound to buttons even if they have no hotkey. Multiple Set Cursor Position inputs can be multi-bound to a single button allowing cursor position binding cycling.
- Scroll wheel Mode on Joystick now ignores the joystick returning to the center position when doing horizontal/vertical scrolling. This allows for bindings to be cycled through scroll wheel on left/right or up/down taps.
- Added Gyro Button Behavior setting. Allows for the Gyro Enable Button to be flipped to be a Gyro Disable Button, so gyro is disabled while the specified button is held, but otherwise on all the time.

- Fixed issues with Double Press activator not working in certain games.
- Fixed Interruptible activators not interrupting in a few specific scenarios.
- Fixed haptic location not always being updated properly with activators.

Steam Controller:
- Added support for Controller Activators
- Activators sit between inputs (like a button) and outputs (like a keypress) and allow for a variety of new behaviors and functionality
- Current activators include Normal Press, Long Press, Double Press, Start Press, Release Press, etc.
- Activators have their own settings, so they can each have haptics, delays, toggles, cycle bindings, turbo, etc.
- There is no limit to the number of activators on an input, so a single button can have a normal press, a double press, multiple long presses of different durations, etc. each of which execute independently and fire off their own bindings with their own settings.
- Mode shifts are also activator based, so mode shifts can now toggle or have special functionality like only on Long Press.
- Internal file format has been reorganized due to these changes, so new con

Steam 26.03.2018
- Additional fixes
Steam 15.12.2017
- Additional fixes for newly reported issues
Steam 13.12.2017
General:
-New feature: Shader Pre-Caching. Whenever possible, depending on hardware and driver support, Steam can download pre-compiled shaders for your specific video card. This reduces load times and in-game stuttering during the first few launches of OpenGL- and Vulkan-based games on supported hardware. This feature may use a small amount of additional bandwidth as Steam uploads and analyzes a shader usage report after each run of the game. The feature can be disabled via a new entry in the Settings dialog.
-Fixed issues with full-screen mode not scaling video content correctly in the Steam Client
-Fixed a UI issue that made it difficult to install new games if a previous installation dialog box was still active
-Fixed several rare crashes and hangs reported by customers
-Updated web views to Chromium v62.0.3202.62
Windows:
- Fixed an issue where the Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR drivers would sometimes not install correctly
- Fixed a bug where launching a game could cause the primary monitor to switch as if Big Picture mode were active, even though it is not
macOS:
- Fixed a crash on startup that could occur if a different application was previously set to autostart, and then did not clean up its autostart entry correctly
Linux:
- Fixed creating desktop and application menu shortcuts
- Added detection and a workaround for certain titles that shipped with broken Steamworks SDK libraries
SteamVR:
- Fixed the occasional brief appearance of a blank console window when starting Steam or launching a VR game
Steam Input:
- Changed Per-Game Steam Input opt-out setting to allow Force On or Force Off per game in addition to the global controller type based settings. This means you can turn on configuration for a single game while globally leaving configuration settings off.
- Added “Launcher Mode” for controllers which are not opted in to Steam Input Configuration. If we detect that the game is in a launcher, the right stick and right trigger will act as a mouse/trigger respectively, allowing the user to navigate the launch with a controller until they get into the game proper. This feature can be disabled by selecting the “Force Off” option in controller settings for the game in the Big Picture controls.
- Added "Always On" binding for setting bindings to take effect when an action set or layer is enabled. This can be used to set up modifier keys that are always active in a layer, changing LED brightness or color based on a set or layer, etc. and can also interact with activators to do start press behavior or turbo, for example.
- Added new tab in Configuration Browser for configs exported by your Steam Friends. These configs will now also show up in the community tab even if they would otherwise not qualify to be shown when ranked by votes or playtime. Note that only exported configs will show up, not personal configs.
- Added an "Empty Binding" binding action intended for use in layers. Essentially this is a special binding that does absolutely nothing, so bindings can be removed from a layer, as the default state of layering "nothing" means use whatever is below that layer. This special binding can also be detected by radial menus and will eliminate that item from being available in the menu.
- Added a “Remove Icon” option to the radial/touch menu icon selection screen.
- Added a binding to set LED color according to Xinput slot
- Reworked detection of windows requiring Lizard Mode for the Steam Controller. Also added a bindable Lizard Mode toggle action.
- Added support for several dozen Xbox-compatible controllers via data collected from users. These controllers are now treated as Xbox controllers instead of generic gamepads.

Steam 17.10.2017
- Fixes for issues present in the original October 11 release, including a fix for black/non-responsive Store and Community pages
Steam 11.10.2017
General:
- Improved stability based on top crash reports and support tickets
- Reduced CPU usage and battery impact when Steam is running in the background
- Removed notification popups when friends are using software from the "Tools" category
Windows:
- Fixed excessive blurriness in Big Picture mode on high-DPI monitors under Windows 10
- Improved in-game overlay compatibility with the latest Insider builds of Windows 10
- Added DPI-based scaling for text and basic UI elements in the in-game overlay
Steam Input:
- Added Action Set Layers feature
- Action Sets can now have layers nested within them. These act like Photoshop Layers on an image. Layers allow for quick modifications both big and small of an existing action set
- Each layer can draw from the actions that are defined by that action set
- Layers can be stacked arbitrarily deep
- Each layer can modify settings or replace modes/bindings of the action set or layers below it in the stack.
- Changes made to the base Action Set are treated as the "default" for a layer, so modifications to a setting of the Action Set will be reflected in the layer unless it specifically modifies that setting itself. Settings within the layer that are "reset to default" will use the setting of the base action set.
- Action Set Layers will be available as an option to developers creating Native Steam Input API games in a future SDK.
- Transitions across action sets, layers, and mode shifts will now maintain state if applicable. As an example, if the same action/output is bound across the boundaries of these sets, rather than being un-pressed and immediately pressed on this transition, it will continue to be held if bound to a pressed button in both sets.
- Activators which have matching Activators across action set/layer/mode shift boundaries will also carry over state, so if the same activator exists across these boundaries, a "long press" which has been pressed but not yet activated will maintain timing information. Likewise, if an output is already active coming from a previous set, a long press/double press/start press etc. which would fire the same output won't be restarted across those boundaries.
- Action set/layer activation binding now fires on the activation, rather than deactivation of the input it's attached to. The old behavior helped to prevent feedback loops of action set/layer changes, but was not in line with other input. This may be a breaking change for certain configurations, as activators like long presses will engage the action set change when the activator activates instead of when the button is released after activating, but it also matches behavior of all other bindings and fixes a number of issues with regards to various activation types. Prevention of feedback loops is now handled automatically, buttons which share action set changes on the same input will not fire when entering the new set/layer.
- Fixed using On-Screen Keyboard on desktop Steam Login Screen
- Fixed DS4 Gyro when streaming over a Steam Link
- Fixed modeshifts not properly reconciling held bindings

- Added A/B/X/Y buttons as options for enabling gyro input
- Fixed an issue where disconnected Steam Controllers that had been connected via the wireless receiver could continue to show up as connected
- On Windows, Xbox controllers not present in our current USB VID/PID Whitelist will now be detected as Xbox controllers and will fall back to using the “Xbox Configuration Support” checkbox instead of “Generic Gamepad Support”. The list of officially support Xbox and PS4 controllers can be found here on our support website. If you have a controller that is missing from this list please report it in the Steam Controller bug reports forum

Steam Controller:
- Added XBox 360, Xbox One, and Generic X-Input controller configurator support. This allows all recognized controller types to use the advanced mapping features of the Steam Controller Configurator. Note that because X-Input currently lacks per-controller means of unique identification, all controllers of that type will share personalization and configuration settings. As they share the same inputs, Xbox 360/One/Generic controllers will all see each-others configurations when browsing. Automatic conversion will be attempted when loading configurations from other controller types

In-Home Streaming:
- Added support for spectating VR games from the Steam Link, mirroring the VR player's viewpoint
Steam Controller:
- Added "Set Cursor Position" binding controller action. This allows an arbitrary X/Y position to be moved to on a button press and optionally warp back to the original position on release. When combined with a click via either multi-binding or an additional activator, allows for on-screen UI to be bound to buttons even if they have no hotkey. Multiple Set Cursor Position inputs can be multi-bound to a single button allowing cursor position binding cycling.
- Scroll wheel Mode on Joystick now ignores the joystick returning to the center position when doing horizontal/vertical scrolling. This allows for bindings to be cycled through scroll wheel on left/right or up/down taps.
- Added Gyro Button Behavior setting. Allows for the Gyro Enable Button to be flipped to be a Gyro Disable Button, so gyro is disabled while the specified button is held, but otherwise on all the time.

- Added support for Controller Activators
- Activators sit between inputs (like a button) and outputs (like a keypress) and allow for a variety of new behaviors and functionality
- Current activators include Normal Press, Long Press, Double Press, Start Press, Release Press, etc.
- Activators have their own settings, so they can each have haptics, delays, toggles, cycle bindings, turbo, etc.
- There is no limit to the number of activators on an input, so a single button can have a normal press, a double press, multiple long presses of different durations, etc. each of which execute independently and fire off their own bindings with their own settings.
- Mode shifts are also activator based, so mode shifts can now toggle or have special functionality like only on Long Press.
- Internal file format has been reorganized due to these changes, so new configurations are not backwards compatible. Any changes made to an existing configuration will not work in previous builds
- All existing configurations are converted into the new format and carry over the appropriate settings and bindings
- Added the ability to copy and existing Action Set into a new Action Set when creating one. You now have a dropdown of all existing action sets to copy from on create.

Steam 26.03.2018
- Additional fixes
Steam 15.12.2017
- Additional fixes for newly reported issues
Steam 13.12.2017
General:
-New feature: Shader Pre-Caching. Whenever possible, depending on hardware and driver support, Steam can download pre-compiled shaders for your specific video card. This reduces load times and in-game stuttering during the first few launches of OpenGL- and Vulkan-based games on supported hardware. This feature may use a small amount of additional bandwidth as Steam uploads and analyzes a shader usage report after each run of the game. The feature can be disabled via a new entry in the Settings dialog.
-Fixed issues with full-screen mode not scaling video content correctly in the Steam Client
-Fixed a UI issue that made it difficult to install new games if a previous installation dialog box was still active
-Fixed several rare crashes and hangs reported by customers
-Updated web views to Chromium v62.0.3202.62
Windows:
- Fixed an issue where the Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR drivers would sometimes not install correctly
- Fixed a bug where launching a game could cause the primary monitor to switch as if Big Picture mode were active, even though it is not
macOS:
- Fixed a crash on startup that could occur if a different application was previously set to autostart, and then did not clean up its autostart entry correctly
Linux:
- Fixed creating desktop and application menu shortcuts
- Added detection and a workaround for certain titles that shipped with broken Steamworks SDK libraries
SteamVR:
- Fixed the occasional brief appearance of a blank console window when starting Steam or launching a VR game
Steam Input:
- Changed Per-Game Steam Input opt-out setting to allow Force On or Force Off per game in addition to the global controller type based settings. This means you can turn on configuration for a single game while globally leaving configuration settings off.
- Added “Launcher Mode” for controllers which are not opted in to Steam Input Configuration. If we detect that the game is in a launcher, the right stick and right trigger will act as a mouse/trigger respectively, allowing the user to navigate the launch with a controller until they get into the game proper. This feature can be disabled by selecting the “Force Off” option in controller settings for the game in the Big Picture controls.
- Added "Always On" binding for setting bindings to take effect when an action set or layer is enabled. This can be used to set up modifier keys that are always active in a layer, changing LED brightness or color based on a set or layer, etc. and can also interact with activators to do start press behavior or turbo, for example.
- Added new tab in Configuration Browser for configs exported by your Steam Friends. These configs will now also show up in the community tab even if they would otherwise not qualify to be shown when ranked by votes or playtime. Note that only exported configs will show up, not personal configs.
- Added an "Empty Binding" binding action intended for use in layers. Essentially this is a special binding that does absolutely nothing, so bindings can be removed from a layer, as the default state of layering "nothing" means use whatever is below that layer. This special binding can also be detected by radial menus and will eliminate that item from being available in the menu.
- Added a “Remove Icon” option to the radial/touch menu icon selection screen.
- Added a binding to set LED color according to Xinput slot
- Reworked detection of windows requiring Lizard Mode for the Steam Controller. Also added a bindable Lizard Mode toggle action.
- Added support for several dozen Xbox-compatible controllers via data collected from users. These controllers are now treated as Xbox controllers instead of generic gamepads.
- Added support for several PS4 controllers: HORI TAC4, HORI TAC PRO, Hitbox PS4 Arcade Stick, and Venom PS4 Arcade Stick
- Fixed a configuration UI error where native actions could be selected in non-native games
- Fixed a bug where source-specific default changes weren't propagated correctly through layers
- Fixed game actions buttons being able to navigate off of their own list of actions
- Fixed some issues with typing accented and other non-english characters via the On-Screen Keyboard
- Fixed on-screen keyboard becoming stuck on-screen when controller is disconnected

Steam 31.10.2017
- Fixed unexpected D-pad right button events when other directions are rapidly tapped
Steam 25.10.2017
- The client was re-released on October 25 with additional fixes for reported crashes and other minor issues
Steam 17.10.2017
- Fixes for issues present in the original October 11 release, including a fix for black/non-responsive Store and Community pages
Steam 11.10.2017
General:
- Improved stability based on top crash reports and support tickets
- Reduced CPU usage and battery impact when Steam is running in the background
- Removed notification popups when friends are using software from the "Tools" category
Windows:
- Fixed excessive blurriness in Big Picture mode on high-DPI monitors under Windows 10
- Improved in-game overlay compatibility with the latest Insider builds of Windows 10
- Added DPI-based scaling for text and basic UI elements in the in-game overlay
Steam Input:
- Added Action Set Layers feature
- Action Sets can now have layers nested within them. These act like Photoshop Layers on an image. Layers allow for quick modifications both big and small of an existing action set
- Each layer can draw from the actions that are defined by that action set
- Layers can be stacked arbitrarily deep
- Each layer can modify settings or replace modes/bindings of the action set or layers below it in the stack.
- Changes made to the base Action Set are treated as the "default" for a layer, so modifications to a setting of the Action Set will be reflected in the layer unless it specifically modifies that setting itself. Settings within the layer that are "reset to default" will use the setting of the base action set.
- Action Set Layers will be available as an option to developers creating Native Steam Input API games in a future SDK.
- Transitions across action sets, layers, and mode shifts will now maintain state if applicable. As an example, if the same action/output is bound across the boundaries of these sets, rather than being un-pressed and immediately pressed on this transition, it will continue to be held if bound to a pressed button in both sets.
- Activators which have matching Activators across action set/layer/mode shift boundaries will also carry over state, so if the same activator exists across these boundaries, a "long press" which has been pressed but not yet activated will maintain timing information. Likewise, if an output is already active coming from a previous set, a long press/double press/start press etc. which would fire the same output won't be restarted across those boundaries.
- Action set/layer activation binding now fires on the activation, rather than deactivation of the input it's attached to. The old behavior helped to prevent feedback loops of action set/layer changes, but was not in line with other input. This may be a breaking change for certain configurations, as activators like long presses will engage the action set change when the activator activates instead of when the button is released after activating, but it also matches behavior of all other bindings and fixes a number of issues with regards to various activation types. Prevention of feedback loops is now handled automatically, buttons which share action set changes on the same input will not fire when entering the new set/layer.
- Fixed using On-Screen Keyboard on desktop Steam Login Screen
- Fixed DS4 Gyro when streaming over a Steam Link
- Fixed modeshifts not properly reconciling held bindings
- Fixed incorrect battery readings from third-party controllers
- Fixed activators from different inputs being able to interrupt each other

- Fixed a few cases where Xbox 360 origins would not show for games using the Native API to get glyphs and text descriptions
- Fixed an issue when combining gyro input with trackpad or joystick input on Linux
- Added A/B/X/Y buttons as options for enabling gyro input
- Fixed an issue where disconnected Steam Controllers that had been connected via the wireless receiver could continue to show up as connected
- On Windows, Xbox controllers not present in our current USB VID/PID Whitelist will now be detected as Xbox controllers and will fall back to using the “Xbox Configuration Support” checkbox instead of “Generic Gamepad Support”. The list of officially support Xbox and PS4 controllers can be found here on our support website. If you have a controller that is missing from this list please report it in the Steam Controller bug reports forum

Steam Controller:
- Added XBox 360, Xbox One, and Generic X-Input controller configurator support. This allows all recognized controller types to use the advanced mapping features of the Steam Controller Configurator. Note that because X-Input currently lacks per-controller means of unique identification, all controllers of that type will share personalization and configuration settings. As they share the same inputs, Xbox 360/One/Generic controllers will all see each-others configurations when browsing. Automatic conversion will be attempted when loading configurations from other controller types
- Unrecognized Generic X-Input gamepad style controllers will be recognized by the Steam Controller Configurator once their buttons have been assigned to match a generic gamepad layout
- Recommended configurations specified for a game by the developer will now attempt to assign based on Controller Type
- Added option to disable Guide Button issuing a Steam focus change. This is available through the Big Picture controller options menu. This allows better interoperability with other applications which use the Guide Button, such as PSNow

- Fixed cases where playing a free game could trigger Family Sharing error messages
In-Home Streaming:
- Added support for spectating VR games from the Steam Link, mirroring the VR player's viewpoint
Steam Controller:
- Added "Set Cursor Position" binding controller action. This allows an arbitrary X/Y position to be moved to on a button press and optionally warp back to the original position on release. When combined with a click via either multi-binding or an additional activator, allows for on-screen UI to be bound to buttons even if they have no hotkey. Multiple Set Cursor Position inputs can be multi-bound to a single button allowing cursor position binding cycling.
- Scroll wheel Mode on Joystick now ignores the joystick returning to the center position when doing horizontal/vertical scrolling. This allows for bindings to be cycled through scroll wheel on left/right or up/down taps.
- Added Gyro Button Behavior setting. Allows for the Gyro Enable Button to be flipped to be a Gyro Disable Button, so gyro is disabled while the specified button is held, but otherwise on all the time.

Steam Controller:
- Added support for Controller Activators
- Activators sit between inputs (like a button) and outputs (like a keypress) and allow for a variety of new behaviors and functionality
- Current activators include Normal Press, Long Press, Double Press, Start Press, Release Press, etc.
- Activators have their own settings, so they can each have haptics, delays, toggles, cycle bindings, turbo, etc.
- There is no limit to the number of activators on an input, so a single button can have a normal press, a double press, multiple long presses of different durations, etc. each of which execute independently and fire off their own bindings with their own settings.
- Mode shifts are also activator based, so mode shifts can now toggle or have special functionality like only on Long Press.
- Internal file format has been reorganized due to these changes, so new configurations are not backwards compatible. Any changes made to an existing configuration will not work in previous builds
- All existing configurations are converted into the new format and carry over the appropriate settings and bindings
- Added the ability to copy and existing Action Set into a new Action Set when creating one. You now have a dropdown of all existing action sets to copy from on create.
- Fix for zombie controllers when resuming from suspend with a dongle in a suspend-powered USB port.

What's new in this version:
Steam 15.12.2017
- Additional fixes for newly reported issues
Steam 13.12.2017
General:
-New feature: Shader Pre-Caching. Whenever possible, depending on hardware and driver support, Steam can download pre-compiled shaders for your specific video card. This reduces load times and in-game stuttering during the first few launches of OpenGL- and Vulkan-based games on supported hardware. This feature may use a small amount of additional bandwidth as Steam uploads and analyzes a shader usage report after each run of the game. The feature can be disabled via a new entry in the Settings dialog.
-Fixed issues with full-screen mode not scaling video content correctly in the Steam Client
-Fixed a UI issue that made it difficult to install new games if a previous installation dialog box was still active
-Fixed several rare crashes and hangs reported by customers
-Updated web views to Chromium v62.0.3202.62
Windows:
- Fixed an issue where the Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR drivers would sometimes not install correctly
- Fixed a bug where launching a game could cause the primary monitor to switch as if Big Picture mode were active, even though it is not
macOS:
- Fixed a crash on startup that could occur if a different application was previously set to autostart, and then did not clean up its autostart entry correctly
Linux:
- Fixed creating desktop and application menu shortcuts
- Added detection and a workaround for certain titles that shipped with broken Steamworks SDK libraries
SteamVR:
- Fixed the occasional brief appearance of a blank console window when starting Steam or launching a VR game
Steam Input:
- Changed Per-Game Steam Input opt-out setting to allow Force On or Force Off per game in addition to the global controller type based settings. This means you can turn on configuration for a single game while globally leaving configuration settings off.
- Added “Launcher Mode” for controllers which are not opted in to Steam Input Configuration. If we detect that the game is in a launcher, the right stick and right trigger will act as a mouse/trigger respectively, allowing the user to navigate the launch with a controller until they get into the game proper. This feature can be disabled by selecting the “Force Off” option in controller settings for the game in the Big Picture controls.
- Added "Always On" binding for setting bindings to take effect when an action set or layer is enabled. This can be used to set up modifier keys that are always active in a layer, changing LED brightness or color based on a set or layer, etc. and can also interact with activators to do start press behavior or turbo, for example.
- Added new tab in Configuration Browser for configs exported by your Steam Friends. These configs will now also show up in the community tab even if they would otherwise not qualify to be shown when ranked by votes or playtime. Note that only exported configs will show up, not personal configs.
- Added an "Empty Binding" binding action intended for use in layers. Essentially this is a special binding that does absolutely nothing, so bindings can be removed from a layer, as the default state of layering "nothing" means use whatever is below that layer. This special binding can also be detected by radial menus and will eliminate that item from being available in the menu.
- Added a “Remove Icon” option to the radial/touch menu icon selection screen.
- Added a binding to set LED color according to Xinput slot
- Reworked detection of windows requiring Lizard Mode for the Steam Controller. Also added a bindable Lizard Mode toggle action.
- Added support for several dozen Xbox-compatible controllers via data collected from users. These controllers are now treated as Xbox controllers instead of generic gamepads.
- Added support for several PS4 controllers: HORI TAC4, HORI TAC PRO, Hitbox PS4 Arcade Stick, and Venom PS4 Arcade Stick

Steam 17.10.2017
- Fixes for issues present in the original October 11 release, including a fix for black/non-responsive Store and Community pages
Steam 11.10.2017
General:
- Improved stability based on top crash reports and support tickets
- Reduced CPU usage and battery impact when Steam is running in the background
- Removed notification popups when friends are using software from the "Tools" category
Windows:
- Fixed excessive blurriness in Big Picture mode on high-DPI monitors under Windows 10
- Improved in-game overlay compatibility with the latest Insider builds of Windows 10
- Added DPI-based scaling for text and basic UI elements in the in-game overlay
Steam Input:
- Added Action Set Layers feature
- Action Sets can now have layers nested within them. These act like Photoshop Layers on an image. Layers allow for quick modifications both big and small of an existing action set
- Each layer can draw from the actions that are defined by that action set
- Layers can be stacked arbitrarily deep
- Each layer can modify settings or replace modes/bindings of the action set or layers below it in the stack.
- Changes made to the base Action Set are treated as the "default" for a layer, so modifications to a setting of the Action Set will be reflected in the layer unless it specifically modifies that setting itself. Settings within the layer that are "reset to default" will use the setting of the base action set.
- Action Set Layers will be available as an option to developers creating Native Steam Input API games in a future SDK.
- Transitions across action sets, layers, and mode shifts will now maintain state if applicable. As an example, if the same action/output is bound across the boundaries of these sets, rather than being un-pressed and immediately pressed on this transition, it will continue to be held if bound to a pressed button in both sets.
- Activators which have matching Activators across action set/layer/mode shift boundaries will also carry over state, so if the same activator exists across these boundaries, a "long press" which has been pressed but not yet activated will maintain timing information. Likewise, if an output is already active coming from a previous set, a long press/double press/start press etc. which would fire the same output won't be restarted across those boundaries.
- Action set/layer activation binding now fires on the activation, rather than deactivation of the input it's attached to. The old behavior helped to prevent feedback loops of action set/layer changes, but was not in line with other input. This may be a breaking change for certain configurations, as activators like long presses will engage the action set change when the activator activates instead of when the button is released after activating, but it also matches behavior of all other bindings and fixes a number of issues with regards to various activation types. Prevention of feedback loops is now handled automatically, buttons which share action set changes on the same input will not fire when entering the new set/layer.

- Added A/B/X/Y buttons as options for enabling gyro input
- Fixed an issue where disconnected Steam Controllers that had been connected via the wireless receiver could continue to show up as connected
- On Windows, Xbox controllers not present in our current USB VID/PID Whitelist will now be detected as Xbox controllers and will fall back to using the “Xbox Configuration Support” checkbox instead of “Generic Gamepad Support”. The list of officially support Xbox and PS4 controllers can be found here on our support website. If you have a controller that is missing from this list please report it in the Steam Controller bug reports forum

Steam Controller:
- Added "Set Cursor Position" binding controller action. This allows an arbitrary X/Y position to be moved to on a button press and optionally warp back to the original position on release. When combined with a click via either multi-binding or an additional activator, allows for on-screen UI to be bound to buttons even if they have no hotkey. Multiple Set Cursor Position inputs can be multi-bound to a single button allowing cursor position binding cycling.
- Scroll wheel Mode on Joystick now ignores the joystick returning to the center position when doing horizontal/vertical scrolling. This allows for bindings to be cycled through scroll wheel on left/right or up/down taps.

- Activators have their own settings, so they can each have haptics, delays, toggles, cycle bindings, turbo, etc.
- There is no limit to the number of activators on an input, so a single button can have a normal press, a double press, multiple long presses of different durations, etc. each of which execute independently and fire off their own bindings with their own settings.
- Mode shifts are also activator based, so mode shifts can now toggle or have special functionality like only on Long Press.
