Hi
I’ve recently done an upgrade to my Motherboard (ASUS X670) and CPU (AMD 7700X) which went well and has given me great results in VR with MSFS running in Windows 10.

However, from my X-plane 11 days, I still had SteamVR loaded on my machine and Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR. With MSFS bought direct from MS, I was running the Reverb with its default Windows version of OpenXR (by clicking the ‘Fix It’ flag on the WMR welcome screen) and so, technically, not using Steam or SteamVR.

I am unlikely to go back to X-plane and so earlier today I started to tidy up my system, uninstalling the Steam VR
and related apps.

I attempted a re-install of the Mixed Reality Portal but it gets stuck at the System Compatibility Check stage:

I have tried all the normal stuff and some of the additional web advice offered to (quite a few) folks who have had the same problem in the past. This has included:

- Ensuring BIOS is latest
- Ditto Windows
- Ditto Graphics Drivers

That made no difference and so I then reloaded Windows 10 with a Re-install USB with latest Windows 10 (using the option where I could retain my programs and files).

No difference

 

I then added a line in the Registry (Holographic\First Run\ AllowFailedSystemChecks etc) as outlined in a couple of the MS Support Forums that is supposed to allow you to skip that compatibility check (it didn’t!)

 

I’ve tried it with the headset booting up the install and also trying the install of the Portal with no headset connected. Always the same result.  At every stage I’ve made sure that I have powered off and re-booted. I’ve tried different USB ports for the headset (the Device Manager recognises the headset and declares it is running normally.)

 

So I’m at a complete loss! The only thing I can think of next is to fit a new empty M2 boot SSD and load a completely fresh copy of Windows 10 on it. Any other things I might have missed?

Everything else works a treat - including MSFS in 2D. Very frustrating - all suggestions gratefully received.

Well - been working on this all day...but sorted.

I dug deeper into the Register Editing (regedit) suggestions that both the MS Support and a couple of the Youtube folks said.  Trouble is that it was a bit of a varying story.  One delved into the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES and one did the same trick in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER to basically bypass the hardware/systems check.  In the end, I did the same change in both and this time it finally loaded the Mixed Reality Portal and I have VR in MSFS again  😃

I really, really don't like delving into registries - and with a Windows Media app on a Windows operating system using a Windows Mixed Reality headset - well, to be honest, I don't see why I should have to.

Anyway, I think it calls for a whisky instead of Horlicks with bedtime only an hour away.  Started this at breakfast!  But great to be back in VR! 

Feel your pain.  I have had constant sound stutters, just now and again  about every 20 minutes for over 12 months   and only in games and MSFS (not calling it a game tee hee)  , reinstalled sound drivers countless times , disabled wi fi, disabled blu tooth, reinstalled ever driver under the sun. When it glitched if in VR it would crash my VR headset ( Oculus)  would have to unplug the link cable and plug it back in again.  Windows 11

 

Nearly sent the PC back !

 

I have a virus checker  it  was in silent mode, all games barred from scanning when in use.

Well, last resort uninstalled It and tried an alternative product .  guess what , not a sound glitch since !

 

it should not be this difficult !!   About 20 years ago Bill gates said Plug and play !

 

Grrrrrrrrr
