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.  🙂



Genial. Muchísimas gracias. A mi me funcionó.

Service already running here as well.
Uninstalled, removed every mention of Oculus from registry, reinstalled, same thing. No help.
Win 10 Pro fully patched. Started several weeks ago, so I'm guessing one of the MS Second Tuesday of the month updates broke it. Hope they find a solution soon, because my rig is in a Uni library, and people are starting to get VERY interested.
