I've got the system tray thing too.
I wonder if it's related to windows itself (such as version). I'm on windows 10 ver 18362 in an admin account.



Windows 10 1903 here. Build 18362.88

I’m using Windows 10 v1809, admin account. 

DK2, CV1, Go, Quest, Quest 2, Quest 3.

Dear Oculus, If it ain't broke, don't fix it, please.

Excellent update, now some people will start giving constructive criticism instead of complaining about stupid stuff.

Also, I'm a bit late to the party but the "pull-out windows" function now works perfectly on my laptop (since 1.40 or 1.41),  I used to get the infamous orange box with an exclamation point, but since it's out of experimental state, it's worked great.
Multiple screens, that's just awesome! Now I can play point&click games on one screen, with another screen for my music player next to me, and some pictures opened in windows around me like posters. I can't wait to have enough horsepower to do all that in Elite:Dangerous.
Thank you Oculus!

I can't wait to try out Oculus Link when it's released (if it lives up to the hype). I really want to update my VR equipment but I don't want to leave the Oculus ecosystem behind, and I don't want the Rift-S either.

I have a Rift S, ever since my Oculus software updated to 1.42 I have been having constant crashing of the Oculus dashboard. I added some new program to my oculus dashboard and have been unable to get my Rift S working even after restarts and reinstalling the Oculus software 1.41 and 1.42

Maybe contact Oculus support and start a ticket, including sending them your log files.

Mine also when I close Oculus it just minimizes to the system tray... I have to remember to close with the system tray icon so that it switches back to balanced power mode, otherwise the CPU will be stuck at 5GHz wasting all those precious electrons....

Ha, I just leave my conservatively overclocked i9 9900k (water cooled) at 5Ghz (all cores) with a high performance power plan, dam the expense (probably a few $'s per year)! 

The main energy usage comes when playing 3D/VR games/sims which loads up the cpu (and gpu) utalisations and you can see the temps go up (= higher energy demand).  My temps never go above 75degC and drop to 30degC very quickly once the games/sims exit and I go back to low usage apps like MS Office and web surfing.
