Issue - When Guardian is disabled Quest 2 brick

[SoyNexZ]

Edit: This is a duplicate of this post, but here I report the issue.

Hi. I just discovered an strange bug.

Hardware

• Oculus Quest 2 (128 GB)
  
• OS Version: Latest (21/04/2022) no Public Channel

Too long didn't read

• Guardian bricks the headset when (Guardian) it's turned off (in the Developer settings).
  

Steps to replicate

1. Turn off 'Guardian' (located in Settings > System > Developer).
2. Turn off the headset.
3. Turn it on.
4. The main menu is all black and nothing works.

Issue

• The headset when Guardian is disabled tries to load the Guardian menu (because it didn't detect any configuration for the area) but it can't because Guardian is disabled, so it stays there forever (or until it finds a valid configuration).

Temporal fix

1. Launch a game from the Oculus phone app.
2. Press the Oculus button.
3. Click settings.
4. Go to System > Developer.
5. Toggle on Guardian.

I dont know if this is a known issue, but I hope it gets solved soon!
