I Can Only See On Monitor And Not Quest Using Oculus Link

Hello! I am having trouble with my quest when using oculus link. Whenever I plug in my quest I go through the set up and everything works until I start playing a game (Roblox VR). Whenever I go into the game I can see in my monitor what i should be seeing in my quest, but whenever I put on the headset it is just a black screen. My guardian still works, but I can not go to the home screen, and I can not see anything other than my guardian. Whenever I move my controllers and head it works in the Roblox VR game, but I can only see it on my monitor. I am using a ten dollar USB 3.1 to USB c cable from amazon for my oculus link cable. My thought is to get a new cable but I wanted to see if there is anything else I can do before I purchase a new cable. Any suggestions?

I found this one with great reviews on amazon. Do ya'll think I should buy it?

To find it go to amazon and look up "partylink cable oculus" and its the one that is 5 stars with 97 reviews, and in the top right corner of the picture, it says "16FT". It should be the first cable that pops up

I have a cable that works great and the black screen scenario has recently happened to me. I found that if I don't enable link in the quest popup and deny access as well, then start link from the quest settings/device menu it seems to work. Most importantly though, make sure your PC meets the minimum specs or that could be your problem.

I am having this same issue.  It is like a reverse display feed from the Oculus Wuest 2 to my monitor.  I tried to see if I could fix it in my PC's display settings, but it does not recognize the Oculus as a display.  My PC is compatible and the games, as far as I can tell, are running fine.  They simply won't display to the Oculus lenses.

After making sure the Oculus Home app on the PC showed a green tick, I put on my headset and opened Settings, then selected Enable Link. The Quest then took a few moments and popped me into a VR world with the UI.
