    Installed v55 PTC on my Quest Pro, but I still have a bug with colorful dots. They appear for a moment about once in a minute or two. I think this bug appeared after local dimming was introduced. I play via cable Link, 13900 4090 Win10 PC.

    My headset still says V54 however the App library is all a mess.  It doesn't show large icons and to get to unknown sources you have to click search and select it in the list.  After launching an app or game, when you exit it no longer takes you back to the library screen.  Then in settings>personalization>library.  If you change the sorting, etc it does not stay set.  It gets reset after launching a game and then opening the library again.

      When you restart/shutdown the headset, it seems like the custom skybox picture isn't saved. You have to reselect it from the files section.

      New Air Link note - there is now a confirmation code to pair the headset with the oculus PC app. I didn't notice an improvement with that connection playing PC games.

      Got v55 today. My floor level has been shifting around ever since upgrading. I cleared all room settings after the upgrade, so that's not the issue. I first noticed the issue in Beat Saber when high walls came and I couldn't possibly bend down far enough to get under them. I then checked in the settings and found it thought I was 2.5m tall. I appreciate being considered tall for even just a moment, but I'm only 1.7m tall.

      Resetting the floor fixed the problem for a while and then suddenly I was 2.2m tall. I'm considering doing a reset, to see if that fixes the problem.

      I'd also really like to request that the old App Library be brought back. I absolutely hate the new library. It makes browsing for games so tedious. I shouldn't have to go to a separate filters view to see installed games and when using filters I want to see more than a handful of games at a time (I have a huge library).

        following my first report on v55, In my opinion there is still work to do but fortunately v55 seems to have nothing to do, positively, with its predecessors v53 and v54.
         
         I have to confirm what other users have also reported to whom the pixels at the borders of the FOV in pcvr have been presented. in my case especially in VD.
        No network spikes and stuttering, I can play everything smoothly but unfortunately the pixels are annoying again.
        Another report concerns the room setup. Everything has already misaligned 3 times and the tracking of the furniture has become less accurate. moreover when I go to adjust the dimensions of the objects by intruding or extruding their faces the result does not correspond to the real object; this is new to me because until v55 I have never encountered this difference.
         
        For those who no longer see the drop-down menu in the applications section, just tap on the search bar at the top and the drop-down menus appear.

          Those of you still having performance issues on v55: is Touch UI enabled in Experimental settings? Some users on the Virtual Desktop Discord have confirmed that at least on v54, enabling Touch UI seems to be the cause of the major performance issues, but simply disabling it doesn't solve the problem. Only a factory reset seems to do the job.

          USB prompt no longer shows when connecting to a PC or Mac and the computers do not show the system as a removable drive to explore files.  
          Also cannot install APK from any source. The quest prompt for installing comes up, but once you click it it just force closes.

            This problem was in V53 also.  At least the part where connecting to a PC doesn't show the quest to browse files.  In Dev settings I turned off USB Prompt.  After doing some sideloading, you have to reboot the headset to get access to it from the PC.  
            Also I run this ADB command after the reboot and it works like a champ.
            adb shell svc usb setFunctions mtp
