Please skip Guardian check when Guardian is disabled on Quest 2
I appreciate the developer feature of disabling Guardian, which saves us time. Thank you. I'd like to report a serious bug in the latest Quest 2 firmware update that wastes developers' time. A simple 2 steps to reproduce it:
1) Settings > System > Developer > Disable Guardian.
2) Long press the power button > Restart
Quest 2 will then get stuck in black after the Meta logo disappears, and the only way for a developer to get out of it is to factory reset the device. It appears that Quest 2 got stuck checking Guardian when Guardian was disabled. If so, please make the firmware skip the Guardian check if Guardian is disabled. This will save us lots of time, from developers to developers.

I can confirm it as well. IT is SERIOUS BUG.
If you disable guardian Quest 2 and you restart quest or take it off for a while then it tries to reestablish Guardian but it is switched off thus leaving you in black screen with only controlers in sight.
YOU HAVE TO FACTORY RESET YOUR QUEST 2 to fix it.
THIS SHOULD BE PATCHED ASAP. IT IS SERIOUS BUG.
Also Guardian after v39 is completely broken as Quest 2 completely forgets it every time i switch off my headset.
Also CONFIRMED. Thought it was just a symptom of something I had done and hadn't seen anything posted about it, so I just pressed on. Glad to see it was not only me!
