Get Help board and search for any existing thread on the issue, if you don't find one, make a new thread. Please add the tag "PTC v68" to the thread and in the title. This way everyone can look for just PTC v68 issues too.

I have v68 but I still don't see the function to hide apps, I would also like to see in a future update the possibility of deciding the distance of the windows by moving the stick while holding the bar under the window in order to adjust the distance to your liking. Besides that I would also like to see that windows like youtube follow you as you walk around with the passthrough

Since loaded v68 when I shut down it updates as before , but when done it shuts off and when I remove power the green light stays on.  I have to restart with no power applied, and then shut down again before I have no light.  When it stays on my power keeps draining

Meta Support Team told me last week that the USB-C known issue that disables the port and requires a reboot to reactivate would be fixed in the next release (v68) but I'm still having the issue and seem not to be the only one.

Controllers Cutting Out Issue:

I'm also seeing controllers cut out similar to the issue VR-JoeF  mentioned here on my Quest 3 and Quest 2:


Since updating to v68 my Right Control has cut out on me twice--seems like the only fix for this is to pullout the "good" battery and put it back in. Never had this behavior before ðŸ˜ž

 

An hour after posting this both controllers went out... Could only fix by re-booting ðŸ˜ž ðŸ˜ž ðŸ˜ž

 I can't figure out steps to consistently reproduce it, but I've seen it a few times now.  Here were a couple situations:

A) After letting my headset go to sleep and picking it back up an hour later.  When I picked it back up, the controllers wouldn't activate.

B) I've seen it while playing around with casting/using home button presses.

C) I've seen it while pressing the home button during the Boundary Setup process.

Result: 

Basically, my controllers just completely stop showing up on the screen, I cannot select any icons whatsoever.  And even when I press the power button on the side of my headset to get to the 'Power Off' Menu, I can't even select any of the options there (such as 'Restart', 'Power Off', or 'Apply Updates'.

And to be clear, the only way to get my controllers/cursors to start showing up again is to completely turn off/restart my device.

Same controller going to sleep with v68.  Must pull and replace the battery to get it going again.

I've had similar issues with powering back on... it's scary--keep thinking Meta "bricked" my device 😮

Hey there DXHCJH,

 

It sounds like you're having some battery issues, that's definitely not ideal for gameplay. Why not reach out to our support team to explore some options?

It's not the battery, MetaStoreHelp... This controller issue started with v68.
