Every time I try to load up Oculus Link or Air Link it sends me to the endless loading screen. My PC meets ALL of the requirements but people are saying it's because I have Windows 11 so I hope it gets fixed soon
Greetings! We see you can't access Cable or Air link because you have Windows 11. Good news is, we've worked on making the link compatible but there are still a few glitches. So not every cable link will work.
However, Windows 11 shouldn't interfere with the Air Link. Please use this link and this link to review how to set up Air Link.
It's recommended to only use the Oculus Cable Link or the Anker USB 3.0 Cable link for best results.
We've recently updated the Oculus app to version 42.0. Do you have that update?
If you're having trouble getting your computer to see or recognize Oculus Link, try reinstalling the Link driver on your computer. You can find the installable Oculus driver file at the following path:
We've included a link here for types of connections needed for the Oculus Cable Link. It says Rift S, but it's the same for the Meta Quest 2.
Slight correction: none of that article applies to the Quest 2 link cable. It's all about what can connect to the Rift-S Displayport cable. Quest 1 and Quest 2 have no displayport and the link cable is purely USB.
(The article does mention usb, but specifically for a usb-c to display port adapter to connect to the Rift-S display cable)
I'm on Windows 11, and whenever I connect it with an air link it says the graphics card is not compatible but when I do link cable it keeps on searching for a pc (I'm in the process of signing into the quest pc app)

I have a similar problem as OP, none of your tricks help. It works fine to connect the headset via cable, but it is just forever loading when I try to connect via Air Link. PC software has been reinstalled (and rebooted) and the headset has been factory reset and updated. It worked just fine on my previous (windows 10) computer.
Hi there @valOsnaH, we were zooming on by and noticed you are having some pesky issues with Air Link. We know how inconvenient not being able to connect your headset wirelessly is, and how finicky PCVR can be, but we want to do all that we can to help you out on this matter!
We see you indicated that PCVR works fine via Quest Link, but Air Link isn't working the same. So to narrow down some issues, can you please review the following:
What are your specs?
Updated your PC and drivers?
Disable any VPN, Firewalls, Antiviruses, Data/Network/Packet managers.
Enable the highest performance for your PC in the power settings.
Change the Air Link bit rate value (up to 200 for NVIDIA cards).
Make sure you are on Ethernet or only the 5GHz Wi-Fi.
