Meta Quest Link is a virus

So I've been trying to get my oculus rift s working for MONTHS now. Always the error lost tracking of headset, even though I could see and move my head in vr perfectly, no problem with the headset. But my controllers would lock in place at my waist. I could move them directionally in vr, left, right, up, down, full wrist rotation in vr and could click and open steamvr, etc.

Also this is on a pc that has always said it doesn't meet the minimum requirements for vr, yet it worked fine for a few months, played blade and sorcery couple hours a day, walking dead, into the rift, no problems at all.

Then an update must have happened and it no longer worked. I tried everything. Someone even suggested a powered usb hub, though that did absolutely nothing.

"edit: after a hard reboot, my keyboard wouldn't work. Was able to get settings to load, and uninstall meta link (though still labelled as oculus in the .exe). It didn't want to uninstall, made my screen blac

I recently got a new pc that has over the recommended specs.  installed meta link and it said my new pc "Windows 11i7 processor32g ram, and a GeForce RTX 4070 Ti" didn't meet the minimum requirements. It went away when I restarted meta link through the app under beta. I would be in the middle of setup, and my new pc would freeze entirely. Had to hard reboot multiple times before i gave up and uninstalled meta link.

Today I tried once again on my old pc. There was a firmware update, and the problem seemed to be gone. full movements of the controllers, no issue.

So I thought I would try again on my new pc. Installed meta link, couldn't get past setup. would repeatedly say usb error even though I tried every usb on the pc and powered hub. Eventually it worked. once. I got to pairing my controllers, and it would crash steam. I try reopening steam and it locks up, I can't even end task. I try closing meta link. Again can't even end task. I'm trying to go into control panel and uninstalled meta link. The control panel can't find any app or programs. I open nvidia settings. I can't load my drivers or anything.

Just now noticed my pc settings won't even load anymore. This all happened because I installed Meta quest link on my new pc. It literally trying to brick my new pc like some virus or ransomware or some **bleep**.

 

 

"edit": had to hard reboot my pc. upon restarting my keyboard wouldn't work. I was able to open settings and uninstall meta quest link (though it still labelled oculus in the .exe). It put up a fight and made my monitor flash and go black, like I was trying to perform an exorcism or something.

It's gone and now everything works again. except no vr for new pc which is the dumbest thing I think could happen with this.
