Retroarch via Steam detects controllers as Steam Link Virtual Gamepad

Hey guys, so, a few months ago I remember plugging in my PowerA Switch Pro controllers and another generic controller to my PC with Steam and running Retroarch so I could have them detected as Xbox 360 controllers but yesterday I tried that again and found out that when running Retroarch via Steam (added as a non Steam game) all my controllers (included an original Xbox 360 wired controller) were detected as Steam Link Virtual Gamepads, I’ve tried with other emulators such as Dolphin or PCSX2 and those detect the controllers as xinput, no issue but I can no longer remap them… So, I don’t know if Steam changed something but at least those emus detect the controllers correctly, only Retroarch has that issue…

Anyone else with the same issue? I don’t have Steam streaming or whatever its called enabled by the way.
