How to launch Steam Deck UI on Windows with a controller!
This guide will show you how to launch Steam Deck UI (Gamepad UI) on Windows with a controller. To launch Steam Deck UI on Windows you normally have to close Steam first and then start Steam from a shortcut using the command -gamepadui.
I will show you how to create a batch script that will close Steam and open Steam with -gamepadui. This script can then be mapped to a controller by using JoyXoff!
The Gamepad UI will soon be a permanent replacement for Big Picture Mode. However until then we'll have to use methods like this to launch it.

▰ Batch script:
@echo off
taskkill /f /im steam.exe
timeout /t 3 /nobreak
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\"
start steam.exe -gamepadui
exit
The timeout between closing Steam and launching Steam Deck UI can be changed depending on your pc.
The line cd marks the location of your Steam installation folder.
