Horizon link not working

My Q3 was linking fine to my PC this afternoon, then literally an hour or two later, will not link.

I'm using a usb 3.0 cable, it is in a USB 3 port, power management of USB port is set correctly.

I get a notification saying 'Meta Quest Link isn't working correctly. Click here to check our support article'.

There is no support article.

I have restarted the headset and PC, repaired the Horizon app, logged out and back into the Horizon app, restarted the OVR service and I still can't get it to work.

Anyone else having or had similar issues recently? 

Horizon software 83.0.0.333.349

Headset V83.1034 build 5156385.14650.520

Grateful for any ideas.

    Same issues, did all the troubleshooting that should need to be done. They really need to get ontop of having people actually quality check it

    start steamvr without vr, go to settings, then openxr, disable meta compatibility, close steamvr, disable your wifi on your pc, start meta link, link with ur headset offline, start steamvr, reenable ur wifi, and it should work. ts so messed up, idk who's the worst between win11 and meta

    Same here with the Rift S, don't bother with their support. I'm three agents in and hating it. I'm pretty sure one of the agents pretended they were from Korea.

    tasaif 😂😂😂 The agent probably IS from Korea. Do you not know how support groups operate? Why would the agent lie? What would be the purpose? Do you think if the person was really from Korea your problem would be magically solved? If I was a support person and said I'm an Irish guy in Türkiye would you not believe me? 🤔
