How to Disable Auto Startup of Meta Horizon Link

tep 1. right click on the meta horizon link app and open file location. File needed will most likely be named "Client" under the "oculus-client" folder. Do not click, but keep this window open.

Step 2. Press the Windows key and R

Step 3. Type in the box shell:startup 

Now you have both the startup and Oculus-Client folders open.

Step 4. Go back to the Oculus window and single-click on "Client" and copy the file (CTRL+C)

Step 5. Now paste the file (CTRL+V) into the startup folder you just opened.

Step 6. Now go to settings/apps/startup (or search, startup apps) and you should see "Client.exe" app on there and now you can turn it off.

Step 7. Test and let me know how it goes :)

  • Just copy paste the Meta Horizon Link shortcut to the Startup folder so that it will be available in Startup items in task manager and you can disable it.

  • Some people that have complained about this also want to prevent all the Oculus services from running, which your post doesn't address 🤷‍♂️. Some users have posted a comprehensive solution.
