Oculus CV1 black screen.

Hey there,

We came across your post and wanted to help get your Rift S back up-and-running again!

When you're experiencing display issues with your Rift S, you need to ensure Oculus\Support\oculus-runtime\OVRServer_x64.exe is using the same graphics device as your 2D Desktop. To fix this:

1. Go to Windows Settings > System > Display > Graphics Settings
2. Click Graphics performance preference
3. Click Choose an app to set preference > Desktop app
4. Locate your OVRServer_x64.exe. By default, this will be located as follows: C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-runtime\OVRServer_x64.exe
5. Click Add
6. Set this to Power Saving then close the settings menu and click Save
7. If this does not work or is already the setting selected, Performance Mode can be tried instead
8. Reset the computer and test VR Desktop

If these steps have been followed and they did not resolve the issue, please ensure the following:

1. Navigate back to the Graphics performance preference and ensure OVRServer_x64.exe is still listed. If not, the setting was not saved.
2. Ensure you clicked Save and closed the settings window BEFORE resetting their computer.

If the OVRServer_x64.exe is still listed, try switching this to Performance Mode rather than Power Saving.

If this still does not work, follow these steps:

1. Open Windows Settings > System > Display > Graphics Settings
2. Select Classic App from the drop down and click Browse
3. Select the OVRServer_x64.exe
4. Click Options > Power Saver > Save
5. Ensure the "Power Saver" option has the integrated graphics device at the top of this menu.
