I'm working on a college project at in VR Computer Science at London University. I'm making a VR app and have been using a RIFT-S with the Unity XR rig. Everything went fine until I took a break and returned to it this weekend and I could not start the headset. I'm stuck with these 3D dots, which suggest something is loading but nothing ever happens. Oculus and video drivers are up-to-date. I've tried all the obvious things like unplugging the cables, restarting the oculus service, connecting to different USB ports, all to no avail. I thought this would be something that I'd be able to fix in an hour, but here I still am on Sunday and I cannot get it to work.
And yes, I have reinstalled the Oculus software. Literally, I've done everything that is reasonable to do. I've noticed others have had this issue, so I'm hoping someone has an answer.
I waited over two weeks for a reply to my original post but none came. As this is for a college project with a deadline looming, I had no option but to buy a new HMD. So, my Rift-S is now dumped.
It's interesting that no-one was able to help me with this. I found some earlier posts on the same thing, and followed those up, but I was unable to get past the three dots screen. Given that this headset is discontinued, I decided to give up with it, and put it down to either a software or cable issue. I can't afford to waste more time chasing this when time is running out. I have no purchased a Quest 3, having tested one last weekend. In PC-mode it seems to work identically to the Rift-S

I know it already has a solution, but I tried on another PC and it worked fine. Now that I know it's not bricked, I'm going to format my PC and see if it works.
Update: Turns out Kaspersky was was blocking OVRServer_64.exe from accessing all the cameras. It is working fine now.
