Windows 10: Windows Ten and the Revenge of Oculus

Hello all, and thank you for listening to my tale.

We began three weeks ago, with my purchase of an Oculus Quest 2. I was beyond excited to soar amongst the clouds in Microsoft’s flight sim. I could almost feel the rush of battle and hear my auto cannons firing in Elite Dangerous.

With the vital linking tether acquired, I moved to install the final piece of the VR digital setup that is Oculus Home.

Installation failed. Please restart computer.

Okay, no worries. I restarted and retried. Installation failed. Please restart computer. Uh oh. To the forums I went. Reddit, windows support, oculus support. I disabled firewalls, graphics and audio enhancement, I deleted oculus data from registries and obliterated it’s data in my drives.

Installation failed. Please restart computer.

It taunted me. This simple final component, so close yet so far. Finally in a desperate maneuver, I created a back up of my terabyte of data, and installed a fresh version of windows 10.

I reattempted the install and finally tasted sweet success. The program installed and I completed setup.

To restore the rest of my programs I implemented my backup. It overwrote the oculus software and the iteration of windows.

Installation failed. Please restart computer.

My compatriots, please help me find a way to install the oculus software on a clean version of windows and then reimplement my backup without overwriting the new software. I cannot be defeated by Oculus.

Why has my Zuma's Revenge stopped working?

Hi Diana,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

• Did you download the game from the Windows store? If yes, then you have to login to Microsoft account and then, re-download the game from the store to check the status.

I suggest you to sign out from the current user account, restart the PC and login to the either administrator account or the Microsoft account to check, if that helps.

Let’s try to refer to the link below and check, if the issue still persists.

Also, I suggest you to install any pending updates on the PC to check, if that helps. Updates are additions to software that can help prevent or fix problems, improve how your computer works, or enhance your computing experience.

If you have downloaded the Zuma's Revenge game software from the internet, then this issue could occur due to the incompatible Zuma's Revenge game software.



I suggest you to uninstall the Zuma's Revenge game software and reinstall the Zuma's Revenge game software in compatibility mode and check, if it works.

Windows 10 and Oculus / VR Headsets

Will Windows 10 have proper support for VR Devices, so that you can look at your desktop or a 2D Non-Stereo Application without going cross-eyed ?

I can imagine that Microsoft is passing that buck to Oculus, and Quite Possibly Occulus to Microsoft. But the bottom line exists that dealing with a VR Headset is a Headache in Windows 7, and even so in Windows 8.1, with Holo-Lens on the horizon, and Oculus
Streaming from XBoxOne it's time for Microsoft to step up and bring their OS into the future.
