Quest 3 will not start after receiving an update

My quest 3 will not start or do anything after receiving an update 20 minutes ago.  My issue is nearly identical to EvilinmE 's recent post.

How did EvilinmE resolve his/her problem?

    Thank you TomCgcmfc & Choleni,

    After numerous attempts at restarting, and toggling the headset sound and vision controls, like magic, the headset rebooted and I successfully accessed what I wanted to.

    So, maybe it was just a matter of letting the update to fully install.

    But I copied the factory reset instructions for possible future use.

    Thanks again!

    Oneg8094​  You probably need to do a factory reset.  See this link for info on how to do this.

      Hi Oneg8094​ 🙂

      Are you sure, the update already has been finished?

      Maybe just let the Quest sit for a while?

      If you still can't turn it on after some time, do what TomCgcmfc​  suggested.
