System UX crashes when trying to launch Quest Link (v79.1030)

Today my Quest 2 headset installed build v79.1030, which was having an issue that caused it and previous versions to always display as v79.1027. After clearing through all available updates, I tried...

I appreciate the suggestion, but this issue does not impact the PC software- it is behaving as expected, although it's nice to refresh the software ensuring it's stability.

The issue rests within the Quest 2 headset itself; the OS is partially broken that prevents me from launching Link while connected to a bridge. Keep in mind that I have already factory reset the headset as a last resort and completed all available updates.

If by any chance are there suggestions on how I can temporarily downgrade to a previous version (probably v79.1028) until a later build beyond v79.1030 releases?

    I am having the same issue with my Quest 3. It seems I can successfully connect via Link if both my headset and PC are using my mobile phone Hotspot connection, but when I try using Link when connected via my air bridge, I am seeing the same symptoms. Using the Hotspot for this connection is not ideal as the connection is not strong/fast enough and causes stuttering in the headset, and I do not have access to another wifi connection at this time. Any help troubleshooting the air bridge connection would be appreciated!

      Hi there Disco__Jesus,

       

      Thanks for joining the discussion, since you are able to connect with a Hotspot this could potentially be an issue with your network rather than the headset.

      1. Try checking the settings of the Antivirus software for options to whitelist or add the Meta Quest Link app as a trusted program.
      2. Adding the Meta Quest Link app to the antivirus software’s whitelist or trusted list should help resolve slow down or issues accessing content without compromising your system integrity.
      3. Please have a look at this public article for additional information on antivirus software. 
      4. You can also try using the RouteThis Helps app, to diagnose any issues with your networks coverage.

      Let us know if you were able to get this resolved successfully!

        The link app is already whitelisted, and the fact I can connect through my hotspot but not when connected via the air bridge is leading me to look in that direction. I have already tried rebooting everything, restarting the link app, factory resetting the air bridge through the link app, tried multiple USB ports on my PC, and tried uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers using Device Manager. 

        Is there anything else I can try to troubleshoot specifically the air bridge connection? Failing that, as the only change to my system is the headset software update that was loaded in the last 36 hours or so, would it be possible to revert to the previous version of the Quest 3 headset software?
