Horizon link not working

My Q3 was linking fine to my PC this afternoon, then literally an hour or two later, will not link.

I'm using a usb 3.0 cable, it is in a USB 3 port, power management of USB port is set correctly.

I get a notification saying 'Meta Quest Link isn't working correctly. Click here to check our support article'.

There is no support article.

I have restarted the headset and PC, repaired the Horizon app, logged out and back into the Horizon app, restarted the OVR service and I still can't get it to work.

Anyone else having or had similar issues recently?

Horizon software 83.0.0.333.349

Headset V83.1034 build 5156385.14650.520

Grateful for any ideas.

I'm having the same problem. Everything was working fine until recently, I changed nothing.

Same issue, though it will start up normally if I disconnect WiFi for both the PC and Quest.

Basically, things work while offline, so you can run local PCVR games/apps, but nothing that needs an internet connection atm.

I'm having the same problem. I was mid race and screen went dark. Tried backing out of app on computer and reconnecting, tried switching usb cords, connected via wifi, even factory reset headset nothing is helping. Has to be something within meta link

Yep same thing with me, kinda reassuring I'm not the only one. I'm using quest 2 so must be a meta problem?

Same. It recently did an update during power off. I had this happen about a year ago and Meta support walked me through force side loading the update to fix it. Of course I don't remember the steps, nor am I confident that'll fix this issue here and now.
