Please elaborate.

Will try :)
1. If I create a shortcut of the Valheim app, and open its properties, I add the -console at the end of "target." Can open the console with F5 when I open from that shortcut, but am unable to open via Steam.
2. Second option was to download the mod Enable Console [www.nexusmods.com]. You need to install BepInEx before installing this mod. Now I can enable the console with F5 from either shortcut or steam link.

Wish I knew what caused it, but at least found a solution.
