The "fix" I use, is to Right Click the Oculus Home EXE and go to Properties then check "Run as Administrator..." this will stop it running in the background.

I'm not sure if people are still having this issue, but if you go to | program files > Oculus > Support > oculus-diagnostics > Oculus Debug Tool | you can force close all Oculus programs.

still an issue, atleast for me 7 years later.
quest is completely off and the only thing paired, and no matter what the app will not close.
(by the way, looking for a setting or way to keep this from happening permanently)

Hello there, @Frindjinny6! We see that you are wanting to keep the Quest app from turning itself on randomly. We understand how troublesome this can be for our users, and we're happy to provide any help we can for this issue!

 

One solution we can try is

  • Open your Windows settings and type "Services."
  • Search for "Oculus VR Library Service" and "Oculus VR Runtime Service."
  • Right-click, then select "Properties."
  • Select "Startup type," then choose "Manual."

 

If you are still experiencing problems after this, we suggest reaching out to our support page. Once there, we will have more tools to look into this further with you!

If you're the author of a thread, remember to mark a reply as the Accepted Solution to help others find answers!

This still doesnt fix the issue of it running when I don't want it to. Once I manually turn it on once, it stays on forever.

Still need help?
