Meta link app closing after i open

 

Subject: PCVR Apps Not Launching via Oculus Link – Quest 2 + RTX 4070 (Driver v32.0.15.7868)

Message:

Hi Meta Support,

I'm experiencing an issue using Oculus Link with my Meta Quest 2. When I launch any PCVR game—either through the Oculus PC app or SteamVR—it briefly shows as "Launching," then returns me to the Oculus Link menu (not the Quest 2 home environment). The games never fully open.

I'm using an RTX 4070 with the latest NVIDIA Game Ready Driver (v32.0.15.7868 as of 6/24/2025), and all drivers are fully up to date.

I ran the Oculus driver repair both through the official Oculus website download and using Command Prompt with the following command:

"C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-drivers\oculus-driver.exe" /repair

Despite this, the issue persists across both Oculus and SteamVR titles. I suspect there may be a deeper runtime or compatibility issue at play.

Please advise on any further steps or let me know if specific logs or diagnostics would help troubleshoot the issue.

Thanks,
Leo

    You should look into an alternative like ALVR, Steam Link or Virtual Desktop. Link and Airlink have been broken for a lot of people since firmware v76 and meta appear unable or unwilling to fix it. Unrelated fact - Meta makes no money from PCVR.

    I'm a Virtual Desktop discord support moderator. I see this daily. Sounds like the work of Avast, AVG or Norton (360). All three are owned by the same company and behave the same way. They also sell your data (see link below). They like to randomly kill apps. If you have one of these make believe AV apps (or some other third party AV/AM/Firewall/Security app), uninstall it then re-install your link software. 
    FWIW, Windows Defender should be all you need in 2025.
