Because I have a Quest, and the Rift S shows up in the same Oculus app.

For some reason my Rift S is showing three right Touch controllers in the Oculus Desktop app.
I did a repair of Oculus yesterday evening and that did not fix it either.
Does not seem to be affecting anything, Touch is working as it should,  only one shows connected.

I tried removing the two unconnected right Touch's showing from the list, but that did not work still showing the three right Touch controllers.

I've had to roll back from 1.38 to 1.37 as I have a strange issue when running this beta build on a clean build of Windows 10 1903.

When not using the Rift S (HMD disconnected or connected to the PC) and playing a non-VR games in Steam or Uplay, my system freezes and requires a hard reset.

Once the reboot has completed, I receive a message from the Oculus software advising that a repair is required. The repair fails and recommends that I restart the PC and try again. This too fails and the only way to restore service is to completely remove all traces of the Oculus software and then re-install it.

When I then play another non-VR game the exact same thing occurs. I can reproduce this situation time and again.

Rolling back to 1.37 fixes the problem.

Note my system has been completely stable until upgrading to 1.38.

Update:
No issues on 1.37 so far, so this is definitely an issue with 1.38

Posting this here as well, if you are looking for this release to fix controllers locking in place but still rotating.

If you have an RTX card with a virtuallink port (2060, 2070, 2080) get a USB A to C adapter and connect the USB to the virtuallink port. Guaranteed 27 watts that fully powers the headset.
