🚀 SteamOS Shell v1.0.0

Overview

SteamOS Shell replaces the Windows Explorer shell with Steam Big Picture, turning your PC into a living-room console experience.
When Steam exits, the user session logs out automatically (~10 seconds later) for a clean reset.

✨ Highlights

• 📂 Start Menu integration — folder created automatically.

• ⏱ Clean exit — logs out automatically when Steam closes (≈10s).
• 🗑 Easy uninstall — via Settings → Apps or Start Menu folder.

🧰 Requirements

• Windows 10/11 (64-bit)
• Steam installed
• Administrator rights
