    Sounds like you might have to trigger the update by a factory reset no matter. PTC activation is on the headset settings on the Mobile app

    Activate PTC:  Go to Profile - the 3 lines on the top right corner - Devices - Headset Settings. I forgot the actual last setting name.

    Hello.

    Firmware v68 is causing issues with my PCVR use.

    First, I can't set my Quest 3 to "do not disturb" anymore. I don't want to be disturbed while I'm playing a game or doing anything else in PCVR. This option has been removed and replaced with a very limiting "until midnight" as maximum set time.

    My Quest 3 started to beep for every little thing now. If I pickup the headset, it beeps. If I put it down, it beeps when it times out. I don't need a beep to tell me I've put on or taken off the headset - I kinda know that already.

    Further, and this is the most serious issue, it now obsesses with knowing where the controllers are and wanting them connected at all times. I rarely use controllers in PCVR, no need for them. Worse, when the "press button to wake controller" banner is displayed, it resets my PCVR game PoV. It does this at seemingly random times so I have to keep resetting my PoV in game.

    Instead of these, frankly, useless features, please work on gracefully reconnecting to PCVR when the connection is temporarily lost. The PC Quest app should keep the connection established as far as the game/app is concerned. This will allow the system to connect back in without losing track like it happens today.

    To sum it up:

    1. We should have a permanent DND if we so wish, especially when connected with Link.

    2. I don't want to be reminded to wake up my controllers, much less have my PoV reset by the injection of the notification on screen.

    Thanks,

    JR

      The new options for "Do Not Disturb" have no sense and this is a very big problem for a software developer like me... add a chose to let it be enabled for ever (or let chose this on developer options).

      The "Do Not Disturb" mode is the only way to hide the popup when controller and hand tracking is boot off and i need to let all controller off.
