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.

    Same, here, I have been installing and reinstalling stuff here... then I enter the forums and the first post, this. 

    What is happening, does anyone know?

    I found a way to get the quest to connect but only if you use the quest for steam vr.

    First look up steam link on the quest and link your steam account to it, then connect your pc through the app and hit connect and you should be good

    Been reinstalling the Meta app and updating the headset via cable thinking that something **bleep**ed up, well aparently they **bleep**ed up on their own. Atleast I'm not the only one stuck on this. Both cable and wireless link won't work.
