Solution for using VPN:
To fix the UseSystemProxy error and force the Meta Horizon (Oculus) app to utilize your Windows system proxy settings, follow these steps to manually add the missing registry values.
Step 1: Open Registry Editor as Administrator
Press the Windows Key, type regedit.
Right-click Registry Editor and select Run as administrator.
Step 2: Update the Native (64-bit) Path
In the address bar at the top, paste the following path and press Enter:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oculus VR, LLC\Oculus
Check if there is a sub-folder (key) named Config.
If it does NOT exist: Right-click the Oculus folder, select New > Key, and name it Config.
Click on the Config folder to open it.
Right-click in the empty white space on the right pane.
Select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
Name the new value UseSystemProxy (ensure there are no spaces).
Double-click UseSystemProxy, set the Value data to 1, and click OK.
Step 3: Update the WOW6432Node (32-bit) Path
Navigate to the following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Oculus VR, LLC\Oculus
Check for a Config key here as well.
If it does NOT exist: Right-click Oculus, select New > Key, and name it Config.
Right-click in the right pane of the Config folder.
Select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
Name it UseSystemProxy.
Double-click it, set the Value data to 1, and click OK.
Step 4: Restart Services
For these changes to take effect, the background services must reload the registry:
Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
Go to the Services tab.
Find OVRService (Oculus VR Runtime Service).
Right-click it and select Restart.
Why this helps:
By default, the Meta PC client may try to bypass system-level proxies to establish a direct connection. In environments where direct connection to Meta's "Graph" servers is restricted, this often leads to the login crash you observed. Setting this value to 1 explicitly tells the OVRServer_x64.exe process to respect the proxy or VPN settings configured in your Windows Internet Options.
