Hey there, chill_alter! No worries! We'd be happy to help you get Link connected so you can get back to enjoying PCVR! Thanks for letting us know what you were able to try already. Also, Joao.G.Bach if you haven't yet tried any of the steps bellow please give them a shot too. While there isn't a way to rollback to previous updates, we are always looking for ways to improve, so feel free to share your ideas on that on our ideas forum.
Please try the following :
- Please ensure your Link connection is properly established
- Open the Meta Quest PC app on your computer.
- Turn on your Quest headset.
- Plug your USB 3 cable into a USB 3 port on your PC, and then plug the other end into your headset.
- A message displays in VR prompting you to Allow access to data. Select Deny. If you mistakenly 'Allow' the prompt, you must unplug your USB cable from the Quest and plug it back in.
- When prompted to Enable Meta Quest Link, select Enable to begin remote rendering using Meta Quest Link.
- Ensure Air Link is disabled in Settings on the headset
- Repair the Meta Quest PC application
- Go to https://www.meta.com/quest/setup and click Download Software.
- Select Repair
- If Windows asks you if you are sure you want to open this file, click yes.
- If Windows Defender prompts Windows to protect your PC, click More Info, and then click Run anyway.
- If your antivirus software restricts the file from opening, temporarily disable your AV and continue.
- Please remember to re-enable your antivirus software once you have completed the repair.

Let us know if that helped or if you are still having any issues. We look forward to hearing back from you all and seeing how things are going!
I have tried the reinstall, the qwave thing, looked at strings of numbers and letters I don't understand and it STILL will not connect to link services. I have used quest link for years, what can I do and why why why can't I have a human being to talk to?
