Hi,
Like you, I only purchased my Quest 3 a few days ago. I've been using a HTC Vive Pro 2 to date, so the whole Meta thing was new to me. With everything fully up to date on my system, it just continually crashed once I launched into the PCVR Link 'purple' screen. If I was lucky, it would work for, maybe, five minutes, but would generally freeze after 30 to 60 seconds. Frankly, I was ready to junk the Q3, until I went into this forum! As suggested by many, I downloaded and installed an older version of the nvidia drivers, dating back to January 2026 (no fancy deleting the old drivers, btw. Just a quick double click on the .exe!), and it fixed the problem. Just to satisfy my masochistic tendencies, I re-tried the latest nvidia drivers for a second time, and the problem returned, 100% of the time. I then re-reinstalled 'ye olde' v591.86, and it was back to 100% good!
Easy fix!

591.86 worked for me too, like you just downloaded and ran the exe - no fuss!
