WMR needs an update

Hello
I just tested jcweston351’s solution by restoring Windows 10 to the restore point created before installing KB5052077 and it worked for me
I left a post on my wordpress site (my windows is in french)

Windows automatically creates a restore point when installing updates
but you should not wait too long

My Reverb G2 with Win 10 is providing a fantastic experience in 2024.
Comparable to 2020 and stutters are rare thankfully flying my favourite Hype helicopters.
Still hearing scare stories about WMR but suspect I will be replacing the G2 well before the 2026 deprecation.
Hoping that the VR offerings continue to improve through 2025 with a few clear winners emerging.
Definitely not time to bin the trusty and reliable G2 just yet :slight_smile:

Thanks PapPilote. unfortunately I have no previuos restore points. No idea why

How is it possible that you have Windows 10 version 24H2? I don’t remember there being such a version of Windows 10.

Please type ‘System’ in the search bar and press Enter. Then, take a screenshot so that the information under ‘Windows specifications’ is visible.

Yes there is a Windows 10 24H2. I came out after Windows 11 24H2. If I remember correctly it was widely available in January.

Windows 10 Home and Pro - Microsoft Lifecycle | Microsoft Learn

If you do a search for the version posts say that it was available if you searched for it in Windows update plus 22H2 users were updated to that version, unless of course they blocked it.

I am Windows 11 24H2 myself so I don’t have personal knowledge about it but I have seen many references to it. So my post was purely to say that it does exist.

I’m very curious if user @PAC556220 could confirm this.

Hi PAC556220
the construction of restore points and the number of points depends on the configured space
Windows automatically deletes the previous restore points according to this space
The space used for restore points is configured in restore point configure / Disk space usage
I don’t know if there is a way to recover old restore points if you didn’t do disk cleanup.

Hi
I posted a support request to Microsoft below their response this evening

In order to address the situation, we would like to provide you with the following list of troubleshooting steps, please try them and share the results with us, so that we can further assist:

  1. Uninstall the KB5052077 Update: Some users have found success by uninstalling the KB5052077 update. You can do this by going to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > View update history > Uninstall updates. Look for KB5052077 and uninstall it.

  2. Repair the Mixed Reality Portal: Another option is to repair the Mixed Reality Portal app. Go to Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features, select Mixed Reality Portal, and then select Advanced options. On the page that opens, select Repair if it’s available.

  3. Check for Pending Updates: Ensure that all other Windows updates are installed, as sometimes a pending update can block the Mixed Reality Software download.

YEA! MS just supplied a fix to WMR…download latest updates!

What fix is that?
I haven’t installed KB5052077,. Today, that update is no longer available, but I got KB5053606 instead. Is that the fix?

I went to ms updates it installed 3, after restarting computer WMR worked.

I tried to install KB5053606 (which should include KB5052077). WMR works after installing this one. It seems Microsoft fixed the issue with KB5052077.

What do you mean you tried to install KB5053606…you need this to get WMR up an running.

Yes, as I said I installed KB5053606 and WMR works just fine after install.

Glad it all worked out. As I was attempting my first VR flight I hit into a 3hr msfs 2020 update…now I’m back at it :grinning:

Great update to 1.38.2.0, still very smooth as has always been. Noticeable improvements…a little slower loading.

Wow. I haven’t flow for 8 days. But all seems to work again

It seems the update yesterday was bogus…
