I have been made aware that in the latest patch 0.9.9.7. A recent enhancement I made is not working universally for all users the way it should. Below is what is happening and how to fix it in the mean time while I work towards an automatic solution for the next update.

Feature: In the last patch i changed the way steam games launch based on recent feedback of it being slow. to make it faster i built in the ability for Winhanced to identify when a game needs steam running to be played. it will launch games that don't need Steam via the .exe. and for games that do need it the app will silently launch Steam when its not running and then launch the game.

**The bug is in the identification logic. its clearly not robust enough to catch each use case.** 

This is mainly a bug on fresh starts when steam is not already running because when steam is running games will always launch.

So the workaround i described in the video is:

1: Open Winhanced  
2: Go to Settings  
3: Go to Libraries Setttings  
4: Select Apps  
5. on the right side click scan for apps  
6. Add Steam  
7. After Steam is added select the box that says launch at startup  
8. Restart your device.

Steam

Doing this will have Winhanced open Steam on boot automatically, and it will be running in the Background when you go to launch your games.

Sorry for the regression in the meantime, everyone.

PSA: If you are on version 0.9.9.7 and your steam games are not launching. Please follow the workaround in this video for the time being.
