Yikes not sure what you guys did but it sucks big time! Usually happens when trying to go back to the app window or closing a app. My pc has crashed about 3 times now testing out the new update, not impressed at all. And on the note of the new update gotta say, not liking it, I prefer the old menu, a lot nicer, easier to use, it was nice having the beta menu there as a option but to just switch it and force people to update is kinda crappy. Again, the whole new look should have just stayed as an option.
And just before anyone asks, windows 7, gtx 1060, fully updated, i7 7700k.
Guess no VR tonight, damn shame!

Microsoft ended mainstream support for Windows 7 on January 13, 2015, but extended support won't end until January 14, 2020.

Upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 is 100% free lmao
The reason many people are having these types of problems seems related to a lack of technical knowledge. Instead of taking to the Internet to complain as if you know what the core problems are, perhaps a better approach is to simply realize that you just need Tech Support. Create a support ticket and follow their instructions, which includes providing Log Files to assist you.

Windows 10 as a stand-alone purchase is obviously not free. But upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 is in fact free.

Also, Microsoft offered a free upgrade to Windows 10 for a year. Hope this helps.
I personally think that expecting a future forward and futuristic technology as VR to work on an almost 10-year-old OS that is no longer supported by Microsoft a little bit unfair.

Luckly im back with windows 7, so hopefully now that we got past that, Oculus can focus on fixing this mess.

Unfortunately Win10 - depending on your hardware configurations may not be a success for everyone. You could try to contact Oculus support to inform them of your issues (if you haven't already done so):

No idea what people are on about honestly. Not to mention Windows 10 being super shady, but thats a topic for another time.
Do what works for you and I'll do what works for me. Again, Oculus worked perfectly a week ago, others have reported issues with this update too. So instead of "Oh its windows 7! Shame on you!" Just chill out. This is less of a support forum and more of a witch hunt honestly. I've checked out countless topics and I see the same thing.
Anyways, again Hopefully they fix all the bugs.
