Question

my meta quest link refuses to start

ive already tried restarting my computer, but it still gives me this prompt. i have no third party softwares and ive tried reinstalling the app 17 times. ive deleted the oculus setup files in the background of the screenshots but it still refuses to start installing. ive browsed the forum already and this is a common issue. does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

Hi there Phybie,

 

We noticed your post and would love to lend a hand to help you jump into the world of VR with us!

 

 The first thing we would need to check is if your computer meets the minimum requirements to use the Meta Quest Link app, as this is the most common reason as to why the program is unable to be installed on a system.

 

To check the minimum requirements you can visit our public article here, where it will show you a breakdown on compatible CPU's and GPU's.

 

If your PC meets or exceeds these specifications, please send us a private message so we can provide further troubleshooting!

Boot Windows into Safe Mode then try installing the app.
