use winkey + d, to show desktop
or alt+enter to exit bpm

imho, dont use bpm when streaming to link apps if possible
link menu -> settings -> streaming -> advanced -> start in desktop, not bpm or recent
some link apps can only stream games, android and link hardware can start in desktop mode

the black screen may have been left over from when some remote play together clients could access desktop,
remote play together should only give control to the current game, and end session when game is closed

Thanks, those keyboard shortcuts might be helpful.
But this is not a Steam Link app, I'm using the hardware version that Valve used to sell. I'm not doing any remote play stuff. I don't prefer it to start in desktop mode since I usually play games and only sometimes need to exit to stream something from a browser. So I'm just looking to solve the issue of minimizing BPM.

Yes just use the regular client. BPM brings all sorts of lagg and GPU display issues abound

The Link Box? Hmm it's trash for one thing and hasn't gotten updates in years. Why do you think the hardware dropped and replaced with a simple Steam Link mobile app. Because the Link hardware quickly became a big joke

Good idea. But I think I fixed it by updating my video card drivers. Thanks!
