@HiThere_  Maybe time to update to Win10.  Oculus has not supported win7 for over 1.5 years now but it still might be worthwhile to reach out to Oculus Support to see if they can point you in the right direction. 

I'm using the latest win10 2004 feature update and nvidia 442.19 driver and I'm not having any problems with v19 with my Rift cv1.  Actually, even my Quest with the official link cable seems to work better now that both are v19.  The new Quality Link setting improves the graphics quite a bit.  Too bad it does so at the cost of additional latency.   My Rift cv1 with 2x SS continues to perform a lot better so my Quest link cable is back in it's box.  I'm mainly just using my Quest for Mobile VR and wireless with Virtual Desktop.

It may be worth just updating your nvidia driver to begin with and see if this helps.  Good luck mate.

I created a new project with a simple cube in it for Quest. With this update, all I get is a black screen.

My Rift also will not turn on after this update.  I cannot use it at all.  I wish we had the option to rollback updates, I missed a league event due to this.

Do some simple troubleshooting first, including running a a Repair, before whining.  I’m sure you’ll sort out most update related problems that way.  Otherwise contact Oculus support and ask them to help sort out your problem.

If it's only this update that you're missing, then it's probably just because they push it in stages to everyone over about a week.
Just wait, it will come.

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

Tbh that's how I usualy run mine anyway. I just use rift s with iracing. But last night I started as usual registered for a race then found out I had no image even though the tracking was working fine. Just those 3 bloody  dots.
