So, story time, I guess. Opened up Oculus this morning to be greeted by the red bar notification of "You need to update your drivers". "Cool" I thought, simple, just click and wait. Oculus app restarted and didn't do a thing or give any visual verification it was working. Waited 10 minutes and tried again. Nothing. Looked it up on the internet to see how to fix and found that a repair would fix it. Not too hard, I thought.
12 hours later, after following as many guides and troubleshooting forum posts as possible, I am still without Oculus installed on my PC after having it installed with no issues for around 4 months. Everytime I attempt to install, the little icon pops up on my desktop only to disappear again with the dreaded "Restart required" error every time. To make matters worse? It now isn't even dropping install logs so I can see where it failed or not, nothing.
I have tried literally everything. Windows is up to date, attempted install with fire wall disabled, tried with Windows Defender and malwarebytes disabled, tried with a local user and tried (successfully) on a backup device that can't run VR, migrated the files to my PC's C: drive via USB from the successfully installed PC and still nothing, all of these without the headset plugged in. I've logged a ticket with support earlier today but I am massively concerned I will get nothing back in time to be able to hand in my VR game development coursework in time.
So, I ask you guys this, do you know of any other work around? This has been a nightmare and, quite frankly, I am massively disappointed that this error has cropped up and there's no troubleshooting given except "Restart plz".
EDIT: I did wonder whether their software needs some kind of online verification and whether or not mine is failing that for some reason? Not sure if this is the case since it installed on my other PC perfectly fine first time around on the same network.
EDIT 2: Just checked the Program Files folder (Where the copied complete install was pasted) and it seems to have essentially purged everything in that folder except the subfolders. This adds to my suspicion it might be something server related?
