    That happens to mine too. Not every time tho. When I hold button to auto turn off or select power off from menu it does the usual power down routine but the screens backlight it still on as the background is a very very dark grey plus if my Bobo battery is still attached it does not show charging which is a dead giveaway that its still on. I then have to hold the power button down for a while and it will turn off or maybe if held too long turn back on so watch out for  that. In the past the headset has restarted even with a standard power off. It really is time Meta just take a breath and just fix all the bugs as there are loads and they keep comming.

    Hi there,

     

    We understand you are encountering issues with your Quest 2 not turning off. To resolve this issue we would like to recommend the following:

     

    Reset your headset by performing a hard reboot:

    • Hold down the power and volume down buttons for at least 10 seconds, or until boot screen loads on the headset.
    • Use volume buttons to scroll to Boot device and select it using the power button.

    If a hard reboot does not fix your issue, try updating the headset using the software update tool.

    I also have the exact same problem on my Quest 2. It only started happening with the latest OS software update.

    Most Quest 2 users are currently experiencing the same issue - the headset does not turn off. All of my friends who own a Quest 2 are facing this problem, and I’ve seen numerous posts about it here and on Reddit. Suggesting to hold the power button is not a proper solution, as it does not address the root problem: the headset simply isn’t turning off.

    This issue has been occurring since version 77. My headset is currently on version 79.1032 PTC, and the issue still persists. I understand that causing damage to the headset and its battery might be in Meta’s interest - as it could force users to purchase new devices - but I have to ask: will this power-off issue ever be fixed, or are you planning to leave the Quest 2 like this and discontinue it soon?

    Your response (or lack thereof) may be used in legal action.

    Thank you.
