EmuDeck Windows - Boot Mode Quickfix
Hi! I'm feeling better so I'm back to work :)
I just pushed an update for BootMode:
- Exe files are now signed so Antivirus shouldn't complain that much.
- Fixed the issue where you couldn't exit Game Mode.
To apply the fix just open EmuDeck, set BootMode to Desktop and then to Game Mode again :)
PS: Sometimes the splash screen with the EmuDeck logo won't go away when you go back to the Desktop from Steam Game Mode, just close it from the task bar until I figure out why is doing that ;)
If you are stuck in Game Mode this is how you can go back to the desktop:
CTRL + ALT + DEL
Open Task Manager
Run new task -> Explorer.exe
Open Emudeck, turn Boot Mode off.

I’ve tried all ways to get out of game mode but the above doesn’t work. Do you have any other suggestions?
hi all things are good only issue i cant choose other drive than c ? i have 5 in total plz advise on windows emudeck
Please I need help I do all the steps and everything is going well except one thing when I want to add the game to steam it’s says user configuration was/were skipped invalid
i had to setup what gamepad steam was using that fixed this for me
After updating to the EA version and using steam rom manager to re add Emulation Station to steam I keep getting stuck on a black screen saying EMU Deck and a pop up in the bottom right about cloud sync. Any idea how I can get past this?
On my Legion Go I was getting a black screen after reboot even after allowing everything in the AV software including just excluding the entire folder when the individual files did nothing. Out of curiosity I tried a ctrl-shift-esc into task manager and to see if the start_game_mode.exe would work if I did run new task direct from the gamemode folder, and it worked fine. So I did a restart and now it works automatically every time with no issues. So if anyone else is getting that black screen, its worth a try to see if it gets it going for you.
Using rog ally. When i close an emulator, than open It again, it's appear:cloudsync watching in background. Then it keep stuck at this
open emudeck and close it, it will fix it
Hi, ever since I joined the patreon and switched over to the early access version, I keep getting “Heur.AdvMLB” and “start_game_mode.exe” keeps getting removed. Didn’t happen with the normal (non early access) release. I saw your post about pushing an update fixing exe files from being flagged by antivirus, so I updated and tried again. Still getting the same virus warning and file quarantined messages. It seems like most things are working but I’m paranoid I either actually have a virus or things didn’t install correctly and I’ll run into issues. Is there something I should be doing differently with the install to keep things from being flagged?
we are currently not using that exact file, as long as the enable.exe, disable.exe and login.exe are not flagged you are good to go. What antivirus are you using?
And how does an Emudeck n00b get a proper Genesis emulator to work with it. I am curious to know the commands to do it. I was thinking to install those emulators manually but I'm not sure and I haven't tried anything yet.
You don't need to install a Genesis emulator. Emudec will do all of that for you.
I am surprised that nobody recommended to install a new start menu app because that issue these guys show with it happens not only on the Legion Go but also other computers. The start menu kept crashing on mine so I replaced it and now, not a problem.
I still can't exit Game Mode after exiting Steam with this update
send me a DM please
Open Emudeck and even restarted but no update found. Is there a way to force the update?
It happens automatically in the background as a part of the auto diagnostic tool
Seems I was stuck on the old update, uninstalled rebooted and tried to reinstall and now it’s telling me to update my app installer in Microsoft store, it’s also telling me I have a slow dns. First time I’ve had this issue
Also Microsoft store doesn’t give me an option to update app installer, ran all updates on store and it was not there
Just enabled for the first time after launching and closing EmuDeck for updates. Gray screen on reboot with no Steam!
Grey screen? not even black? send me a DM please
How do we go about getting emudeck to pick up this update?
just opening it
On Aya Neo 2S, when you are in boot mode, the sound buttons don't work, could you fix it in the next update? Thanks and good work
do you know if they load some software besides Aya Space? AYA does weird things related to audio controllers all the time
Thanks a lot ! 👍🙂👍
