As the Link Software was successfully running for you at one point in time, we would recommend a more comprehensive uninstall of the software known as a 'Manual Uninstall'. The steps for completing this are outlined below:
- Disconnect the Rift/Link cable from the computer
- Disconnect your computer from the internet
- Backup any necessary content - You can find steps on how to do so by clicking here.
- Reboot into Safe Mode - You can find steps on how to do so by clicking here.
- Uninstall the Link PC VR app using the Control Panel - You can find steps on how to do so by clicking here.
- Delete all Oculus folders from the following folder - C:\Program Files
- Remove any Oculus folders from the following locations:
C:\Users\YourUserProfile\AppData
C:\Users\YourUserProfile\AppData\Local
C:\Users\YourUserProfile\AppData\LocalLow
C:\Users\YourUserProfile\AppData\Roaming
C:\OculusSetup-DownloadCache
Note: The AppData folder is usually hidden. Use these steps to access AppData.
Press Windows key + R to launch the Run dialog window.
Type %AppData% in the Run box and click OK or press Enter
File Explorer will launch to the AppData\Roaming subfolder.
Click AppData in the File Explorer address bar to show all three subfolders in the AppData location.
