This has just started happening.  I've just had an update on the PC Oculus app.  Anyone else seeing this issue?  Any ideas?

 

Oculus app version 46.0.0.215.0 (46.0.0.215.0)

Firstly thanks to everyone who replied.  Without wishing to be pedantic or insult anyone's intelligence, I think it's more precise to state that the issue is caused by being on

 

Oculus app version 46.0.0.215.0 (46.0.0.215.0)

 

I would suggest that anyone who hasn't turned on PTC and has the issue double check that they aren't for some (unknown) reason on v46.  For me, as for most, turning PTC off caused a downgrade to v44, which resolved the issue.  If you're not on v46 and don't have the desktop icon, then I feel your pain.

The desktop access feature was removed in the last update. I believe Meta is working to streamline the hardware to focus on official content only- so you will probably need to look into buying a different headset for desktop use.

You may notice that you are no longer forced to use a Facebook account though- so I suppose they consider this a tradeoff to maintain a steady profit increase.

I have desktop button... But if i click nothing happen and to be honest i don't know what is this button for... A black screen?

I don't think the desktop access was removed on purpose, but rather just a bug in the current PTC.

It would be absolute nonsense to remove this officially.

Do we have confirmation that this is indeed a bug with the PTC version and not intentional? Just want to be sure Meta aren't planning on removing this feature for Quest users as it's critical for any sort of 3D work (need reference).

Just got this for Christmas n there is no icon for the deck top n the mod thing in beta is turned off can u tell me please how to fix this
