Hi itsjoopark  - this is pretty surprising. It is almost as-is the Oculus service is not installed correctly and not able to make administrative changes to the Windows registry.

Logs telling you the specific problem will be available at `%LOCALAPPDATA%/Oculus/OVRRedir_*.log`

Alternatively, you can manually set the location of the OpenXR runtime in the Windows registry:
The key is `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Khronos\OpenXR\1` `ActiveRuntime` and the value should be `C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-runtime\oculus_openxr_64.json`.

Please let know if either of these solutions work for you or if the logs reveal some specific issues that can be resolved for all users.

Thanks,

John
