Meta Quest Remote Desktop won´t start on Windows 11 Pro

Dear Community,
I have a problem running Meta Quest Remote Desktop on Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (Build 22631.4037).
 
Installation with Meta Quest Remote Desktop Setup.msi (Version from 13.8.24) works fine and shows no errors.
 However, when Opening the App Meta Quest Remote Desktop nothing happens and in the task manager MQRDCrashpadHandler is shown for 1-2 seconds.
 
How can I install the Meta Quest Remote Desktop App on my machine. Happy to collect further data to solve the
problem.
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Tobias

Could get the App to Start by removing the "Meta Virtual Monitor" Device in Windows Device Manager. After removing that device the App started and could be configured and run correctly. The "Meta Virtual Monitor" got re-installed too...

Hi there, Tobias. Thanks for reaching out!

 

There's a few simpler options we would first like to suggest before trying to run the app again:

 

1. Restart the PC

2. Run the application as administrator

3. Disable firewall

4. Uninstall and re-install the application itself

 

Also, there's a small chance the application may not be compatible with the screen resolution of your monitor. If applicable to you, we suggest trying a lower resolution of 1080p before opening again.

 

If you've attempted some or all of the above, please keep us in the loop if any of these fix the issue.

Hey,

Thanks for the quick reply. 

1. Restart the PC - done. No difference.

2. Run the application as administrator - also done. No difference.

3. Disable firewall - done. No difference. Also disabled all Windows App Security settings. 

4. Uninstall and re-install the application itself - Tried that, no difference. 

Found that the Crash Handler is writing a Log/Dump (.dmp) to AppData. 

I can provide it if needed. 

The resolution of my screen is 1080p by Default...

Thanks for your support...

Hi @MetaQuestSupport , I have the same problem as @tobias.kutning . Installing the latest version of Meta Quest Remote Desktop Setup.msi works fine, but when I open the application nothing happens (I've tried all the options you've suggested). Do you have a solution?

Hi @foretdeleau!


We are keen to understand the issue that you're having!
Could you please walk us through your process when you attempt to open the app. 

Can you see the process running in Task Manager after you attempt to launch the application?

Hi @MetaQuestSupport 

After installing the agent correctly, nothing happens, even if I try to launch it as administrator. And no Meta Quest-related processes running in the task manager.

Still need help?
