Missing my virtual homes after update

I updated my quest over night and was shocked my virtual environments all are missing. Is there a way back? 
I don’t like the new ones especially in the foreground as they are not realistic, they don’t blend in, design from foreground to background is not aligned. Sadly it’s not a quality update. 
I miss my original home environment, the dome - that was my first introduction to VR and I dearly miss it!
I miss my winter lodge, my balloons, my Japanese home, my space station, my very cyber punk futuristic apartment, my hobbit cave, my mountain campfire, my forest lodge …

Depending on the mood you could change them, now I feel a bit lost with the low quality environments (especially in the foreground) and my old themes missing. 

I would have never updated had I know the environments will be gone. 
Is there a way back? A hidden menu? Are there plans to integrate the old environments?

    As long as you are not completely cut the Quest from going online, you can't avoid the update.

    Maccyb123​ mentioned a method to get the old environment back....temporary.

    They will dissappear, just read the release notes.

  • No going back, huh?  0 star rating on Amazon.  Do not buy a product that will arbitrarily decide what you want and force it on you against your will.
    I logged in to get away from the living environment I cannot get away from but hate but now, because the self decreed Meta gods decision I now have to continue looking at it through the cameras.  No virtual reality anymore and no choice.

      There is still a virtual environment..... just not the same as before.

      You are not trapped in the real world😂

    I agree. The upgrade is horrible. I dont like that I am forced to use the immersive environment.   I liked my mountain campsite.  I am in an immersive environment everyday.  I dont need a fake play one too.  The upgrade has also interfered with my games performance.  And what is up with passthrough? ick ick
