HP Reverb G2 + Windows 11 24H2 Not Working Need Help

[Ollie956]

Hello,

I have a problem with a VR Headset and the latest Windows 11 Update(24H2). The HP Reverb G2 requires Microsoft's Mixed Reality Portal software, which they have discontinued and no longer works at all in the latest Windows 11 24H2 Update. What are the solutions/workarounds to get this perfectly fine VR Headset, that works on another machine I haven't upgraded just fine, now that Microsoft has stopped supporting that piece of critical software for this device? Are their any plans for a compatible replacement? Is HP doing something about this? Or did HP and Microsoft pretty much just shove a giant stick up everyone's bum and expect them not to be upset about this? If I use this headset on a Linux machine will the headset work as intended?

Any suggestions or comments on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

I'm with you, Kmo2o0. I feel like somebody owes me some money for my investment in this VR headset/HMD. HP or Microsoft, I don't care which. Both of them sold us on the combination of hardware/software and were happy to take our money. How do they get to kill that for which they took our money, and then, you know, keep our money? It doesn't feel or smell good. If anybody catches wind of a class action lawsuit or some other consumer protection litigation, count me in.

FWIW, I (thankfully) did not get 24H2 (yet) and have now "paused" updates for 5 weeks. I'm hoping I can pause them again, and again, and again, ad infinitum, until my G2 gives up the ghost. Thankfully, I only use the G2 on a dedicated gaming machine, not my daily driver (that I want fully updated all the time). If I can't pause/avoid the update, I have taken a system image of the gaming machine's hard drive and can revert back to pre-24H2 if Microsoft forces it upon me. Well, theoretically. Honestly, how can they get away with this?
