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.

if u disconnect the internet and then connect, it works to connect PCVR but... yyou cannot start any game out of that because the system thinks the Headset is not ready and it gives you the error message

In the link "home" environment it'll say, no connection to internet, but I can open games, I can go on steam, I can also get in a multiplayer lobby.

We are talking about PC VR not Quest Home nor Games

What I LOVE MOST in this forum thread (topic/problem) It's the HUGE AMOUNT OF RESPONSES COMING FROM META ... My God! Please META do not SPAM US with so so so many RESPONSES to our PROBLEMS! please!.

You guys are right, the online connection is blocking us from using the headset we purchased. Meta can go somewhere below the Earth, IYKWIM.

I wasted around 12 hours, I did everything, and no fix for this. Because there is a server down, the one that allow to use the PC link with Meta Horizon Link, a server that maybe also it's streaming all what we are doing with it, lets hope that they are not having access to our PC files with it also.

So, basically with this, now we know for sure, that META it's monitoring EVERYTHING while you are linked to your PC using the Meta Link, there is a server down right now, a server that verify and do something related to the link to the PC that allow to use it. May be they are even watching not only what you are doing, but they have access to your PC files. And maybe the problem with the high bit rate, it's because they need some bandwidth to stream our data to their servers also, while you are using the PC Link. All speculation of course, but reality always surpasses fiction.

Rise your hand, if you think that META it's streaming to their servers EVERYTHING (video and audio) that we see on our Quest displays (even passthru cameras) ALL THE TIME, even when you are using PC Link (air and usb) ... Now we know why they are so so HYPE about the META GLASSES also, imagine to have the video and audio streaming of every single Meta Glasses that people are using, ALL THE TIME. Imagine the amount of DATA that they can collect and sell, surveillance data system at its best, and huge data source for AI training. All speculations of course, but, reality always surpasses fiction

Ich habe das gleiche problem seit gestern und habe schon alles mögliche probiert um es wieder zum laufen zu bringen. Scheint ein Meta Problem zu sein
