Once you have dry rot in a deck it is very hard to stop completely. It is a fungus, and spreads tendrils in the wood grain. Repairs have to involve chopping away all the rot to sound wood, and then treating it. Simply painting it with something s ineffective.
There are many commercial fungicides, all poisonous, so take care. A popular DIY treatment is a mixture of glycol (concentrated auto antifreeze) and borax, with a bit of liquid soap.
There is usually a lot more rot than meets the eye, often in the joists and bearers. The strength of the decking can then be compromised, and if concerned, ask a builder.
You are often best off just ripping out the whole lot, and replacing it with preservative treated timber which will never get the same problem.
