Hello there,
I bought a Rift S three weeks ago. Since it had the "Oculus
Software restart required" infinite loop issue, I refunded it and boght a
new one. The new device did not show this problem, but two other major issues:
1. When I open Oculus Dash and klick "Virtual Desktop" in
the Dash panel, I can see... my desktop. But as soon as I move my head I see
black flickering for parts of the window. The flickering
gets stronger if I move my head faster. The flickering appears only inside the
Virtual Desktop window. I did not observe it in
other applications or Oculus Home so far. This happens independent of SteamVR running or not.
2.The Oculus Guardian is not found or completely shifted each time
I use the Rift S after a PC restart. So I have to setup the Guardian every time
I want to play which is very frustrating. The former (refunded) device did not
have this problem. Is this a software or hardware problem?
Here are my setup specs:
- CPU: Intel Core i5-8600K (6 cores, no overclocking)
- GPU: NVidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB (no overclocking)
- Mainboard: ASrock Z370M Pro4
- Memory: 16 GB
- OS: Windows 10 64bit
- The Rift S is directly plugged into the graphiccard/mainboard with the
original cable, no other cable/hardware involved

I tried your suggestions, but they did not help.
Regarding issue 1:
I investigated the issue more and found combinations of the graphics settings where the flickering did not occur:
* VR-Levels disabled (in the Dash menu) + Priorize Performance (in Oculus Software) -> Flickering appears
* VR-Levels disabled (in the Dash menu) + Priorize Quality (in Oculus Software) -> No flickering
* VR-Levels enabled (in the Dash menu) + Priorize Performance (in Oculus Software) -> No flickering
* VR-Levels enabled (in the Dash menu) + Priorize Quality (in Oculus Software) -> No flickering
Regarding issue 2:
I can reproduce the lost Guardian setup with the folling steps:
1. Put on headset.
2. Headset says: "No play area found. Please set up Guardian."
3. Follow the Guardian setup.
4. Go to Virtual Desktop on the Oculus Dash panel.
5. Reboot PC while keeping headset on.
6. Wait 10 seconds until headset turns on again.
7. Headset says: "No play area found. Please set up Guardian."
8. Repeat.
