Oculus app not working / black window / rendering?

Hi guys,

I was trying to install the PC App today. The installation worked quite fine. The moment when the VR says to establish the link in the VR and the rest have to be done on the Computer, my Oculus App starts.


This is how it looks like: https://imgur.com/z4qgqiZ

I've updated the NVidia graphics driver and repaired the Oculus app. What else can I do? My firewall is off and there is no Virus Defender installed, the active Virus control from Windows is off.

Thanks

EDIT2: Use Oculus Tray Tool to restart or kill the service, works fine for me, while troubleshooting back and forth.

Same problem, i did the windows update. Try to uninstall and re install the app. It doesn't work.

I dont think about the problem come from my PC.

Config; Intel Core I9

             64 Gb Ram

I found this topic on the forum already... but I did as requested and it didn't help.

Additionally, I opened a new topic on oculusquest on reddit last night, but somehow I got downvoted 😕

Dang. Yeah its specifically after choosing a profile picture on new setup. Can't find any topics on Google talking about it. I had to come to support forums to find all these people having the same issue.

Try this steps. A user back from 2019 had this issue and worked this way. Don't know if it will solve. As it seems, this is a common issue that no one have a right answer.

I have posted it already above and tried it also, didnt work for me. Several users in the same thread were saying that not everybody could solve the problem this way. It might have worked only for a few.
