Minecraft windows 10 edition black screen

I installed windows 10 minecraft and it runs fine in 2d.  If I launch from Oculus all it get is a black screen.  The most disappointing part is there are no error messages...just stuck in a black void.  I am in US and have seen the copy language files solution but based on my locale this is clearly not  the issue.

Hey Hungrymonkey,
i had also issue with black screen when i launch the app today. First nothing happened, then i noticed minimized window on top left corner and i opened it. Screen was black and nothing happened.
I minimize and maximize the screen for couple times and it started to work.

Don't know if it works for you, but it worked for me. I quess you can try it. Good luck.

@hungrymonkey I already gave you the solution in the other thread. https://forums.oculus.com/community/discussion/comment/427552/#Comment_427552 . You need to unplug any monitors from any secondary GPUs.

thank you. That worked.  I understood I couldnt have a second GPU installed, unplugging is a viable solution for me.  Thanks again.

I also have a black screen only with Minecraft after it launches.  I don't have extra monitors plugged in. Can you help me?  My logs are attached.

I see what I think is the error:
Graphics adapters do not match between client and service.
This usually happens if you have a monitor or Rift connected to the motherboard integrated GPU port, or to a secondary card in an SLI/CrossFire system. Rift and all monitors must be connected to the primary dedicated GPU and NOT any secondary cards or integrated ports. In addition, you want at least one monitor connected, having just Rift with no monitors can be problematic. Also, I'd recommend connecting Rift directly on HDMI rather than using any sort of adapters (you can use the adapters for your monitor or TV). Hope that helps.

If it's an Nvidia card, look in the Nvidia control panel settings and see if you can Force High-Powered GPU in the 3D Settings menu.
