Problem with "Unknown Sources"

Slinzen

Hello,
I have activated "Unknown Sources", but if I want to start (example) SteamVR, I get a message that I need to activate unknown sources.
Does anyone else have the same error?

No.  Maybe make sure to do this on both your Oculus Desktop app and library as well.  Of course, not all unknown sources will work unless they are properly installed, setup, and are compatible with you pc.

Maybe try exiting your Oculus desktop app.  Then properly shutdown your PC (do not use sleep/hibernate) and startup everything again.

I've tried everthing @TomCgcmfc ...
  • Reset the headset to factory settings
  • Reinstalled the Oculus software
  • Rebooted the computer and the headset several times
But always the same error message. Slowly, I'm really running out of fun.

@Slinzen  Sounds like you need to contact Oculus Support and start a ticket.  Good luck mate.
