PTC v72 Release Thread

Hey Everyone,

The Public Test Channel (PTC) for Quest v72 is starting to roll out soon for Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest Pro, Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S.

If you're seeing an issue or bug after updating to PTC v72:

1) For issues: Go to our 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 v72" to the thread and in the title. This way everyone can look for just PTC v72 issues too.

2) For bugs: If you come across a bug, please post each one you spot in its own thread, to keep track of individual issues separately.

Share your impressions in the comments below and let us know if you see any issues.

Please make sure to also send in bug reports along with posting on the forums if you notice anything going wrong.

We know it's tough when you run into a problem on a PTC build and want to thank you all again for testing out PTC and sharing your feedback! This feedback is extremely helpful to our engineering teams. We appreciate your interest and persistence in testing out the core functionality of software as we develop!

Just posted today, V72 official released notes are out.

V72 looks like what I was thinking of, improving keyboard, linking and boundaries. Especially making remote desktop to be more supported on windows 11

I really thought Microsoft will stop all support for headset through a software of their own, Like WMR. They released a new app in Microsoft store that's called Mixed Reality Link. when linked up to the app a Windows icon will show up on the Quest Menu Bar.

New experimental feature, for the windows 11 link. If you don't see it now in the PTC V72, factory reset or wait. My headset was factory reset for a few days ago, and install PTC V72 today.

Windows App (Preview) on the Meta Quest app store after turning on the experimental feature give you 2 options

Anonymous  Thanks mate.  Does this win11 remote desktop have any advantages over just using Air Link or Virtual Desktop to display your PC desktop.  Seems a bit unnecessary to me but maybe I'm missing something?  Cheers.

PS. with your latest v72 are you able to press/hold the power button a a couple of seconds to get to the normal power off options?  Mine just hangs (in grey screen) and I then need to press/hold the power button to force a full shutdown.

TomCgcmfc I'm not sure, I do know that this new Windows 11 Remote Desktop is alot more smoother and have more features. Plus, track the keyboard and mouse better.
