I'm not sure what happened or who's at fault here, but my Samsung Odyssey Windows Mixed Reality headset suddenly started having problems with the display not showing correctly. I have the Nvidia GTX 1060 GPU. After several un/reinstalls of drivers, operating systems and various "quick fixes" found on the net by many other people who have had the same exact experience as I am now experiencing, I now know that this problem is not headset specific and is probably tied to either a problem with an upgraded graphics driver or, what I think is more likely, a faulty line of code in a recent Windows update. A can tell you that this problem, although new to me, has existed for at least 2 years.
Not only do I now feel that I wasted $400 on what has become an unusable piece of plastic, but you've stolen the games I played as well. It's VERY hard to go back to playing on a monitor after being immersed so deeply in the game thanks to VR.
I cannot believe that not only has this problem existed for at least 2 years and it's still not fixed. And it's affecting new people. I've spent the better part of a week reinstalling the operating system and various drivers and researching the problem online. I have been so frustrated that I wanted to throw my computer and the headset off a balcony thinking that I had done something only to find that it's nothing that I did but it's also nothing I can fix.
No, the headset isn't broken. After reinstalling the operating system and setting up the headset everything works beautifully until I exit out of the mixed reality portal or restart the computer. Then the display refuses to show in the headset, although I can hear everything and I can see the display on my monitor and see that head tracking works, but no combination of restarting the mixed reality portal and unplugging and replugging in the headset will make it work again.
