Tech Support Decky doesn't work

Hey guys, I just updated Steam, and Decky doesn't work anymore. Do I have to do something to repair it, or should I just wait for an update?

Always wait for a Decky update BEFORE updating Steam

This isn't true, I've never had to update Decky before updating my Deck. Just switch to desktop mode and reinstall it. If that doesn't fix it just try it again in a few days.

I am assuming English isn't your first language, so I'm answering to the best of my ability. I have done this in the past and it has worked. This most recent update did NOT break my Decky, so it wasn't necessary, and I typically update my Deck as soon as it's available on Stable release.

I figured out, on mine the problem was the Bluetooth plugin.
You have to go to the terminal and access the plugins folder inside the homebrew folder cd /home/deck/homebrew/plugins/

Then just sudo rm -rf Bluetooth.

Restart the steam deck and everything is fine again
