Hello, i have been trying for the past 8 or so hours straight to get my Reverb to function.

Recently found out that WMR support is removed from 24H2 so i downgraded down to 23H2 using the tiny11 23h2 installer (it has less bloatware so i used that), even after fully updating the OS and having the newest HoloLens drivers installed 10.0.19041.2054 I keep getting an error in Mixed Reality Portal.

"Something went wrong, and we couldn't start Windows Mixed Reality" when trying to setup, compatibility was fine with my hardware and i know its not an issue with the headset itself.

Specs:

RTX 4070 12 GB

Ryzen 7 5700G

64GB 3200Mhz Ram

Win 11 Pro 23H2

USB 3.0 for the USB-C connector on Reverb G2

Bluetooth 4.0 For Controllers

    If you're still having issues, I'd recommend checking out the Oasis Driver for steamvr, very new project and I haven't managed to properly test it yet but it works a lot better than the empty void that microsoft provides. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3824490/Oasis_Driver_for_Windows_Mixed_Reality/.

    It's so unbelievably scummy that microsoft have turned working hardware into paperweights but here we are. Hope you get your problem sorted
