Play mode via Link does not launch on newly created projects

Dear Fellow unity Devs,

I have encountered a rather special problem:

First i have to say, Launching into play mode on Projects created earlier this year does work as expected.
However in newly created Projects Play mode doesent launch into VR mode if connected Via Quest Link.
I have Tried:
Different Unity Versions
in unity XR plugin management installing Only openXR package, Only Oculus package and Both
Reinstalling Link software and M;eta quest Developer Hub
Enabling, disabling and reenabling Oculus runtime as Default and Rebooting my system
Making sure the installed packages and settings match the Project that is correctly launching Playmode in VR


Can you help me find the issue and fixing it?
Thank you very much for your input!

All the best
