I Read post and Upgraded to windows 10, endless reboot loop
I had read a post on reddit that said I would get some performance gains by updating to Windows 10. I was aware it's not fully supported yet by Oculus, but this talk got me excited so I figured I would give it a try. I downloaded the newest Windows 10 Nvidia Drivers (352.84-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql.exe) WDDM 2.0 I assume?
I followed all of the instructions for reinstalling the runtime, manually starting the OVRServer_x86.exe in Windows 8 compatibility mode, forcing extended mode. Since installing windows 10 with these drivers the rift will just endlessly turn the power light on and off. If I turn the rift off, I can no longer turn it back on unless I completely turn off the PC. In which it does constant turning on/off again.
I tried the Windows 8.1 drivers for Windows 10 also, the pre wddm 2.0 ones, but have the same issue. Does anyone have any ideas of how to fix this? I think I just got myself in a bit of a pickle and hope I didn't screw something up inside the actual rift.
Edit: Could part of my problem be that it says "Build 10074" in the bottom right corner? I had read something about maybe needing 10130 just now.
Edit2: Hmm, I went to windows update and something called "fbl_impressive Core 10130" keeps failing. I have no idea why the update won't come through. I did this windows 10 upgrade from Windows 8.1, I don't understand why they wouldn't put me at 10130 by default.
Edit3: After several hours I now have 10130 installed, exact same issues. When I start the ovrserver_x86.exe in windows 8 compat mode the rift rebooting stops now. But there's a windows blue circle cursor when I look inside the rift. The only way to get rid of it is the close the ovrserver_x86.exe. In which the rift starts rebooting endlessly again.
