Troubleshooting
Battery
The Quest 3 does not function well on low battery, if encountering issues, ensure adequate charge.
Hard Restarts
Turn off the headset
Press and hold the power button.
Select Power Options or equivalent in the power menu.
Restart
Restart Quest Link
Soft reset through the headset:
In Quest Link (if it's open), you can quit via the leftmost option in the bottom main menu bar. If there is no menu, press the Meta button to bring it up. If nothing works, restart the headset.
Hard rest through the desktop app:
Settings > General > Beta > Restart Meta Quest Link (at the top)
Quest Link Issues
Can't find PC, not connecting, or startup issues:
Firstly, we want to try and isolate the issue first;
Double check all connection issues are resolved.
Double check the cable and the ports; try a different combination or try a different device.
Restart the headset (top of page).
Reinstall/Repair Quest Link
App may have gotten corrupted, reinstall or repair it to restore its functionality
Use the OculusSetup.exe found in ...\Program Files\Oculus
Google is your friend otherwise! We do not think you should change any settings that compromise the security of your device though; such as disabling firewalls.
It was juuuust working
Where it was working fine, but you took off the headset and after putting it back on, it's just a black screen.
Firstly there's a subtle difference in the black for when the headset is completely off, and when it is a black screen, check the power options. Press + Hold to bring up the power menu if the device is awake.
Have you moved locations? You may need to reset the boundary.
