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. How can software be released without testing and quality control? I feel like I am going mad.

                I was able to connect with AirLink by disconnecting the wifi router I use to play VR from the internet, but as soon as I go back on the internet my link view freezes and goes to black...  is this a windows or meta problem.... not sure...
