META QUEST 3 SHOWS A MESSAGE SOMETHING WENT WRONG, UNABLE TO JOIN

After startup I always get the following message

Is anybody else having this issue?

Not sure what it's trying to join.

Thank goodness i also have been driving round this twist trying to fix this issue. Got nowhere. My housemate always gets her updatesbefore me and she hardly uses the set, im on it almost 24 u, but she asked me to helpmsort it out as shehadnt been onnformonths and lo version 85; i thoguht a couple of people were just winding us up on facebook about v85; however cant say its any better, they took away the navigator. I quite like it now i adapted , but hey ho. Also my housemates set is soooo much clearer throygh pass through and more vibrantand crisp colours, before 85 even, and my brothers 2 sets have been wayyy worse than mine,   why are we being passed inferior sets, i bought all three sets for them, so theyr could join me, but meh the dont use it as much as me, had to return my bros first one cos he keot having problems , i tought he was just beingna noob and got him to bringit here, wow it was sluggish as well as poirer quality lenses   so we sent it back for a replacement, its just as bad, i reckon the kist cleaned the set factory reset it put it in a new dbox andresent it back, . Swings and roundabouts, love the quest so  uch sibce i first saw it by just almost year n half ago in electricaal retal store, so i went home andread up on it, thenbought them fromamazon.  its an amazing piece of kit, i hope it improves and doesnt bottom out as all the negative presses seem to suggest, i cannot return to flatscreen games ever again, ditch all consoles ad onky kept the pc as it was gifted so i could useit on pcvr, all bonuses,

I get the same on every restart but it all works fine, it may just be the WiFi connection is being slow on connection

Happening on my Quest 3 as well. Was working earlier, but in the afternoon, it stopped connecting to the PC via Link. Tried repairing Meta Horizons on PC, rebooted both devices, tried factory resetting the Quest 3, and set it up again. Still not working.
