PCVR Horizon Worlds won't launch

Since the last Oculus PC app update a few days ago I can't launch Horizon worlds through the PC link cable. 

I click the game (either through the quest or on screen with the mouse) and the launch screen opens but a second or so later it closes with no error message.

I can still run the game on the quest without PC link and if I go to the PC Horizon worlds folder I can launch the game in pancake mode but for some reason it won't play in VR through the app.

I've updated windows 10 and GPU drivers to the latest versions.

Any ideas how I can overcome this?

Alternatively, as it only occurred since the last update and is limited to the Oculus PC app I'm guessing the issue lies there, but is there a command I can add to the Horizons.exe to force it to launch in VR mode rather than pancake?

Yes I noticed this as well... recent 2 weeks on gaming rig.
Uninstalled and ALL not fixed.

The only thing that fixed this on my end was Installing OpenXR Tools for Windows Mixed Reality - Free download and install on Windows | Microsoft Store and setting that as the default runtime engine.

Then the Horizon.exe would launch on PC.
Yet I still cannot use it with QuestLink via HEADSET just as a Floating Window it worked.
If this helps the developers?
