Me too. Restarted everything, all drivers updated, uninstalled / reinstalled app, reinstalled the quest 3 in the APP. Status says the cable is working. Symbol and 3 dot loading screen is as far as I get

StevieT1971​  I get the same message as all of you with cable, but air link is working without issues.

Quest 2 and Quest 3 on build v83, link app on PTC v85.

Maybe enable ptc in the link app, so you are at least able to use air link.

@ all .... report the bug

This software has been nothing but a joke since it moved to Horizon.

in windows services apparently there are 3 items from oculus that should be running, only one is, the other one is dead now and the third is missing

my client has 5 sub-processes every time i restart it so i'm unsure if this is accurate, could be part of the problem too though
