When i click on the Oculus shortcut to start the software a message pops up that says:

We're Having Trouble starting oculus
Your oculus software may be updating. Please wait a minute and try again. If the issue continues, contact Oculus Support

I think I had this problem once before and i had to reinstall oculus, but now it's happening again.

I have windows 8.1 gtx950 amd cpu

I just started having this problem today, too. This is what I did:
Right click taskbar > task manager > services tab >  find OVRService (Oculus VR Runtime Service) > right click > Start > Then try opening Oculus Client again. This worked for me, let me know if it helps.  🙂

Sadly I can't start this service and that's the root cause. The support team is helping me out but I've been stuck there for a couple of days. Thanks for sharing this, hope it can help other ppl
