Sounds like you're having the same issue as me. Are you pc or laptop?

PC. I don't get the black screen. It just flashes and I still see the headset dash and my vr location room. I can play games on my headset. Just no launch from my link to pc desktop 

We understand how the PC desktop not working properly is a issue for the both of you. We'll like to try repairing the desktop to try and fix this. Please follow these steps to do so. 

 

1. Go here, scroll down to to whichever software you have downloaded and click Download software.
2. Select Repair.

  • If Windows asks you if you’re sure you want to open this file, click Yes.
  • If Windows Defender prompts Windows protected your PC, click More info and then click Run anyway.

3. Allow the repair process to run, download and install.
4. Launch the Oculus PC app.

 

After that, please reach back out and let us know if this helps.

No didn't work at all. I don't understand. No settings changes from on night to the next and this is happening. I only bought the headset to run iRacing in VR. Very disappointing.

It's crazy. So I did a fresh install of Win 11. It worked 1 time after the fresh install. Then after disconnecting for a few hours it starts the issue all over just like it did before. So I buy the Virtual Desktop App and load it. The this app seems to recognize the PC and will launch iRacing via Steam VR. Which I hate doing its killing the smoothness and clarity not to mention its still not resolving the issue anyway. It almost seems like oculus software is not communicating with the windows to allow The windows Desktop to launch via wired link or wireless link. I looked at the Windows Defender Security logs and there is no mention of blocking anything nor is there any pop up asking for permission to allow the oculus app to run during my attempts to launch to the desktop.
