It says to change windows username.... any idea how to do this?  My user name has a space in its name  like my first space last name....  could this potentially be causeing this?  a space in-between the names for the user name?  If so, how do I go about changing the name on the computer?

it could cause it... recent oculus versions have had really random problems with special letters and spaces and many have had success by creating new admin account just to run oculus installer or repair there.
You can try to change the windows username, but it is much more complicated process. Many articles about it in net tho. Username itself is easy to change, but it tends to leave certain stuff referring to your old username and it can be rather time consuming process to go thru everything... Would recommend at least testing with new account 1st so that you know if it will fix your particular issue.
The reason for this remains unknown and is not the 1st time Oculus users have problems with those, but if I had to bet, the recent outbreak was caused by recent windows update rather than changes on Oculus installer... However this information isn't based on any actual facts.
