Oculus app not working / black window / rendering?

Hi guys,

I was trying to install the PC App today. The installation worked quite fine. The moment when the VR says to establish the link in the VR and the rest have to be done on the Computer, my Oculus App starts.


This is how it looks like: https://imgur.com/z4qgqiZ

I've updated the NVidia graphics driver and repaired the Oculus app. What else can I do? My firewall is off and there is no Virus Defender installed, the active Virus control from Windows is off.

Thanks

EDIT2: Use Oculus Tray Tool to restart or kill the service, works fine for me, while troubleshooting back and forth.

      We have a solution guys. Strikekat from discord posted a zipped file to downgrade the client version and it works!

      1. You will need to download this file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dprJ7QxIzyzb4jZC-H-fQ_sRzOVCFA62/viewI have downloaded it myself, its around 580MB.
      2. Then, use something like Oculus Tray Icon (https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/5okoju/oculus_tray_tool/) to kill the oculus service.
      3. Then replace the files in your C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support folder with those from the zipped file and voila!
      4. After that, restart oculus app and it should work.
      5. After the full setup process, you might need to uninstall and install it again to have the latest version! But then it should work properly!

      I know there has already been a working solution but I would like to add that in my case. The Oculus PC app would not redirect me to log in on a browser no matter what I set as my default, whether my antivirus protection was off, or if my pop up blocker was off. So I factory reset my PC and it solved the issue.
