Meta Quest/Horizon Link (Via link cable) Infinite loading screen.

Hey, I've been using the meta link app for quite a few years now and one day (about 2 months ago) the app just stopped working and i was greeted with an infinite loading screen whenever i tried to connect my headset via link cable. same issue you've all heard before haha (and meta has done nothing to fix it!! of course!)

 

I have tried:

Rebooting my computer and headset. 

Flipping the cable upside down.

Fully uninstalling and reinstalling the link app.

Turning off my internet before starting a session.

Blocking all meta related services from my firewall (results in the meta app saying "oh no i cant communicate to the servers pls help")

Uninstalling and reinstalling the link app again.

 

basically tried everything except factory resetting my headset (since i have recordings on there and im just too lazy to get them off there rn). if worse comes to worst, i will be forced to refund my headset for the sixth time.
