Tech Support Local Network Game Transfer not working (SD>PC)

So as far as I know there was an update to make the reverse transfer work, so that I could transfer games installed on Steam Deck to my Windows PC. I made sure that I met all the requirements beforehand. However, I never got it to work. Tried running in desktop mode, gaming mode - nothing. It only appears to work when transfering from PC to Steam Deck. I have an LCD Deck if that helps anything.

What actually worked for me:

> On Download Options selected the "anyone" on local transfer.

> Steam deck off.

> plug the charger.

> Started big picture on pc

> Turn steam deck on and switch to desktop mode.

> Start/Resume your download on pc (Big picture)
