@CaptMo0723 & others. I solved my issue. It was caused by the SteamXR not being properly placed into the registry.
I will suggest 2 solutions.
1 - Manually verify the registry entry.
• Open the registry editor
• Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE, Khronos, OpenXR,1
• The value of the ACTIVERUNTIME should be “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR\steamxr_win64.json”
• Correct the value if it is not
AND/OR
2 - run a *.reg file to insert or copy the correct value
• create a blank text file
• paste the following into the text file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Khronos\OpenXR\1]
“ActiveRuntime”=“C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR\steamxr_win64.json”
•save the text file as a *.reg file. Something like SteamXR.reg
Somehow originally mine was being directed to an OculusXR.json . Everything works now that I corrected that.
