    I just took a look at that registry value and found that my 64 bit system was using the Oculus runtime, but it was set to use the 32 bit runtime by default. I'll be editing that registry to use the 64 bit version instead. Thank you!

    For anyone reading: running a 32 bit version of a program on your 64 bit processor can be slower than if you just use the 64 bit version. That's why I'm changing it.

    THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION. MARKING FOR VISABILITY

    Hey everyone! It looks like this thread is a pretty old one with outdated information. Because of this, I will be locking this thread. If you're still having trouble setting Oculus as the active OpenXR runtime, I recommend that you make a new thread in the Get Help section of the forums. This way, MetaStoreHelp will be able to assist you, or you can send them a private message by going to their profile.

Hey everyone, if the previous troubleshooting steps didn't work to set Oculus as active OpenXR runtime, we have a couple more options to try. Some people have found the following to be helpful:

 

  • If there are multiple accounts associated with your device, use the administrator account to "Set Oculus as active".
  • Open Oculus app > Go to Settings > Select Beta > OpenXR Runtime > Set Oculus as active

We hope this helps! If you are still having issues after these steps, you can reach out to the developers of OpenXR here: https://www.khronos.org/about/contact/
