  1. WMR Lying about specs.


    I have a fully compatible PC that meets all the specs required for WMR, but it says I'm lacking USB 3.0 even though I have USB 3.0 ports. I went into Microsoft store and found WMR PC check, booted that up, and it says I'm compatible, but I can't boot WMR without the specs needed.

  2. Lenovo Explorer WMR - Error Code 2181038087-5

    I've been struggling to get my brand-new Lenovo Explorer to work. I have 2 VR capable computers, both well within specs for WMR, both throw error code 2181038087-5 despite my exhaustive efforts.

    Here are the specs,

    Main PC:

    • CPU: Intel i7 4790K
    • Ram: 32GB DDR3
    • MB Chipset: Intel Z97
    • GPU: GTX 1060 6GB
    • Windows 10 Home, Version 1803, Build 17134.112
    • Screenshot of Device Manager and WMR error code: imgur.com

    Streaming PC:

    • CPU: Ryzen 5 1600
    • Ram: 16GB DDR4
    • MB Chipset: AMD B350
    • GPU: RX480 8GB
    • Windows 10 Home, Version 1803, Build 17134.112
    • Screenshot of Device Manager and WMR error code: imgur.com

    So far, I have attempted, on both machines:

    • Unplugging all other devices and hubs on USB 3.0 and 3.1 ports
    • Unplugging and plugging back in the HMD into a different port
    • Confirming Host controllers have Microsoft drivers (see pictures)
    • Updating UEFI to latest firmware
    • Disabling USB selective suspend settings
    • Disabling Legacy USB Support in UEFI
    • Uninstalling all USB controllers and devices in the Device Manager, and allowing them to reinstall on a restart
    • Installing beta versions of the "HoloLens Sensors" firmware
    • Plugging HMD into a powered hub

    Suggestions?

    WMR Portal & WMR Headset shows black screen but displays lines for border

    So I have a HP WMR headset - the first version. When I boot up the WMR portal it starts out ok and the windows 10 logo displays in both the headset and the portal. But then the screen turns black on both the portal and the headset. However the lines show
    up for the border when I move around and the wmr controllers are also visible in portal and headset. I have updated drivers for everything. Updated bios. Uninstalled & reinstalled WMR software. Also uninstalled & reinstalled Steam VR. Restarted in between
    every step. I even went as far as killing every WMR reference in the registry and deleting all the WMR related files in the user profile; but nothing fixed it.

    Here is the kicker though. I created a new profile and it works perfectly on the new profile but is still broken on the main profile.

    So what do I have to do to resolve this on the main profile? Clearly there is some WMR related data haning around post uninstall. Where is it? How do I clear all WMR related data from a user profile?

    Thanks WMR Lying about specs. :)

    WMR Lying about specs.

    Is nokia lying about n95 tech spec?

    The programs you're talking about, read a fixed operating system constant value returned by the HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer).

    That constant is fixed/hardcoded when the Symbian operating system backporting (adapting the OS to new hardware is done).

    For the N95, the value is incorrect (someone proabably just forgot or didn't bother to change the constant), so applications that just report the constant, will not report the true CPU speed.

    The applications would have to implement their own algorithm to determine/estimate the actual processor speed (or have an internal table to look up the information).

    In other words, the specs are correct (not lying), and the programs you tried report a constant value that is incorrectly defined in the firmware, and do not reflect the true clock speed of the application processor.
