Headset Airlink Connection Problems

I connected my Quest 3 headset using AirLink and played Blade & Sorcery on my PC, but the next day I couldn't connect. I fiddled with it and managed to reconnect somehow, but the following day I couldn't connect again.

I'm seeing messages like 'Headset not found' or 'Could not pair'.

I'd appreciate any help you can offer.

    When it says 'headset not found', just toggle the "use AirLink" button in the headset Link settings off/on a few times and it will usually wake up the PC connection. If that doesn't work, press CTRL+LEFT SHIFT+ESC in Windows, then select the Services tab and find the OVRService. Right-click on it and select "restart". Wait about 30 seconds (the Link app will probably close and reopen) then put your headset on and you should see the Link pop-up saying the PC is "connected". Now you can "join" your PC. If that still doesn't fix it, rebooting the headset will.

      I have Windows 11 installed on my computer and I want to click on OVR service and restart, but when I right-click, there is no restart option and I still can't connect. I would appreciate your help.
