Okay...So...As we all know, the Oculus software for some reason HAS TO BE INSTALLED ON THE OPERATING SYSTEM HARD DRIVE...Well that is kind of driving me insane because I only have a 100GB HD for my OS, which I install nothing else on except for necessary things and use other HD's for actually program install paths. Well between my OS and Oculus, I have about 24.7GB free on my OS HD and I guess that isn't enough space to satisfy Oculus to continue with an update that is stuck queued. Thanks to a friend showing me about the shell link extension within windows so I can move the Oculus software folder to a new drive, while making it think it is still installed on my main drive, it evidently still accounts for the space on my main drive and refuses to allow the queued update to download and install. I even tried uninstalling the software and reinstalling to see if that would force the update. It did not. Also upon trying the reinstall, now the software refuses to acknowledge the existence of my games library folder which I did not delete when uninstalling and reinstalling. I went as far as to install a game and then copy my existing game folder onto the new one to overwrite it. The game then shows up as an unknown source game...EVEN THOUGH IT'S FROM THE OCULUS STORE ORIGINALLY! Even then, the unknown source version of the game then immediately crashes when trying to boot. I am trying to not lose any mods and versions of games that I do not wish to update. So I am at a loss here and do not know what to do. I don't understand why custom software install paths are not built into the software installation and why the software is giving me such a hard time with my game library. I'm so close to just selling this stupid VR and saving up for a different brand. I really do enjoy the Oculus Rift S, but the headache with the software is starting to not be worth it and is more infuriating than I could have ever imagined.
Have you tried a disk cleanup on your system drive - opting to sleanup system files too? you can lose up to 20GB of 'unwanted' system files that way.
The oculus software would have recognised your games folder had you pointed it to it after installation - then a few minutes spent in rebuilding the needed links by the oculus software.
Too tired to read your wall, paragraphs are handy...

I have not tried a disk cleanup yet. I will try that.
As far as being TLDR, if you would have read more, you'd know that I did point it to the games folder after installation and it still refuses to recognize my games.

A solid block of text detailing several issues, with minimum punctuation is not an easy read...
I had read to the end - but your description of dealing with the games folder was open to interpretation.
