Remote Desktop connects OK and I see the monitors, but when the pointer or hand tracker hovers over the screen, overlay buttons pop up and nothing can be clicked on the monitor. Can't launch anything, can only switch monitors, change resolution or disconnect. Am I missing a step?

Thank you for getting back to us! After looking into with with some of our app specialists, it looks like the behavior you're seeing is normal and expected. As a Remote Display, the app is a "one-way" view of your computer's display. The only way to interact with or launch computer programs would be as normal on your computer. The Remote Display only allows you to view what's happening on your PC, and can't receive Quest controller input onto your PC- that functionality remains exclusive to Quest or Air Link. We hope this answers your question- but please reach out to us if you have any others!

The remote desktop is pretty useless but try the Quest link before you return the headset.
