Error says to restart when trying to install Meta Quest Link software on Windows 11 PC

Hello, I just bought a new PC and I am trying to install the meta quest link software on it. It gives me an error saying I need to restart my pc for it to install but after trying that and several other solutions I have researched out I'm still having no luck.  I have the firewall and antivirus turned off but that makes no difference... 

Any help would be most appreciated.

I'm having the same problem. I also followed the online advice turned all firewalls off in defender, even uninstalled my virus protection and still same result. 

My pc is way over the minimum requirements

I have over 1T of free space

I get the same error as Jles

It worked on this laptop with the quest 2. I uninstalled it and went to instal the new link and it does not work 

All my drivers are up to date

Is there a solution to this? Looks like a lot of people are having the same issue!
