Quest 3 - connects, but PC no longer sees it (v85)
SITUATION: When I connect my Q3 to laptop, (as I've done for years), it beeps, and charges, but doesn't pop-up in explorer (nor show the access files dialogue box). BACKGROUND: I have used windows explorer for years with no issue across multiple Quest headsets. I don't believe I have changed any settings. I have also looked through Quest device settings (and web), and can't find the way to force the access files pop-up. [possible solution?] PURPOSE: My intent is to download recorded content from my device and edit before publishing to YouTube, etc. HOW TO REPLICATE: Plug in Q3 to PC/laptop with trusted cable. NOTES: Currently on v85 Connecting to my PC brings up the charging indicator light as expected Connecting makes the affirmation beep Link still works (can see desktop, play VR games) SideQuest works The usual pop-up "allow connected device to access files" doesn't show I recently had a temporary warning that it detected water in the port. Yet that was random (no where near water), and went away within 30 minutes. Rebooting both devices doesn't change anything. I've spent a few hours trying to figure this out, and would love any ideas you have.
Meta Quest 3 Suddenly Not Connecting to PC
I’ve been using my Meta Quest 3 with my PC for a while now without any issues. I was able to copy files back and forth between the headset and the PC just fine. But recently, it suddenly stopped connecting. When I plug in the USB cable, I still get the notification bubble on the headset asking me to allow access. I press it as usual, but nothing shows up on the PC — no drive, no device, nothing. Here’s what I’ve tried so far: factory reset both the headset and the PC Tried multiple USB cables (including the one that used to work) Verified that my phone and other devices connect to the PC without any issues Still, the Quest 3 won’t show up on the computer. Has anyone else run into this? Any ideas on what might be causing it or how to fix it? Thanks in advance!
