Can't log into Meta Quest Link PC, stuck on "Continue in Your Browser"

I'm trying to launch Meta Quest Link on PC, but I'm stuck on this "Continue in Your Browser" page. The Log-in button led to Chrome opening and I logged into my Meta account on Chrome fine, but switching back to the software it's still stuck on this page. How do I make it move forward?

    Solution: don't use Chrome browser, try a different one.

      Tried Edge, same outcome. Successfully log-in on browser, the app doesn't  react

        Did you just use Edge for the log in? Or did you set Edge or Firefox  or whatever- just not Chrome -  as your default browser?

  • 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.
