I just took a look at that registry value and found that my 64 bit system was using the Oculus runtime, but it was set to use the 32 bit runtime by default. I'll be editing that registry to use the 64 bit version instead. Thank you!
For anyone reading: running a 32 bit version of a program on your 64 bit processor can be slower than if you just use the 64 bit version. That's why I'm changing it.

THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION. MARKING FOR VISABILITY
Hey everyone! It looks like this thread is a pretty old one with outdated information. Because of this, I will be locking this thread. If you're still having trouble setting Oculus as the active OpenXR runtime, I recommend that you make a new thread in the Get Help section of the forums. This way, @MetaQuestSupport will be able to assist you, or you can send them a private message by going to their profile.

I'm having a similar issue. Clicking the "Set Oculus as Active" doesn't do anything or generate any error messages. My software drivers are up to date, etc.

Same problem here.

Same problem here. The button is inactive, no error message. Went through all steps mentioned by Oculus support above and all seemed alright, but cannot set Oculus as default OpenXR runtime.

PS actually using Rift, not Quest, but the problem with the App is the same

Hey everyone, if the previous troubleshooting steps didn't work to set Oculus as active OpenXR runtime, we have a couple more options to try. Some people have found the following to be helpful:
We hope this helps! If you are still having issues after these steps, you can reach out to the developers of OpenXR here: https://www.khronos.org/about/contact/

I'm unable to login to the computer with an official Admin account due to this being a corporate laptop. I tried opening the Oculus application with the "Run as Administrator" option which should have the same effect, and that didn't help.
The "Set Oculus as active" option is no longer on the Beta tab. It's found under the General tab. That's the button that we are all saying doesn't work.
My understanding is that this feature sets a registry value, so this definitely sounds like an issue with the Oculus software, not something that OpenXR would fix. Please explain why a developer at OpenXR would be able to help fix a button in the Oculus application.
