Secondary profile freezes in the virtual environment after power on.

Brand new metaquest 3 owner, its 3 days old and brought as a birthday present for my son. Everything has been set up fine and added my account as the main profile for parental controls and device ownership, and his profile as a secondary profile.

Whenever he selects his profile from power on, he gets in and after about 5 to 10 seconds it puts him into the virtual environment. Not the one he's chosen, and the menu items are inaccessible. I can hear them when I push the meta button but cant interact with them either through the controller or the gestures. He's essentially stuck there. Activating pass through also does absolutely nothing.

The only work around ive found, despite deleting and re-adding his profile multiple times and a factory reboot. It by resetting the device, logging into my profile first, then switching to his profile. Following this approach there are no issues although everything appears to load more slowly than the main profile, but its working fine. When its powered off, and he comes back next time its the same story all over again.

Are the secondary profiles broken?

  • Hi SgtUdon​ πŸ™‚

    I've just checked it on my Q3.....still on v79 with it.

    I can start with the secondary profile without issues, nothing freezes and I can use the controllers just fine. So, definitively not broken. It's not an account with parental controls, though. I don't know if that matters..... actually it should not.πŸ™ƒ

    You didn't say on what version your headset is.... maybe there is a bug with secondary accounts when you are already on v81?

    In that case, you should send a bug report.

    Report a bug on Meta Quest

    Maybe try if the update tool can fix your issue:

    Meta Quest software update | Meta Store

    What happens if he just take off the headset(that's what I do, I never shut off) and put it on again after a while.
