how to get around annoying quest pro bug

[bigmike20vt]

hi.
this is a weird one. I just set up my 1st game of walkabout golf with my lad
on my quest pro inset up the room and it popped up a setting window to accept or deny the game access to my microphone.

but for some reason I could not interact with it. if it were windows it was like I was tabbed into a different window (in this case walkabout golf) where the panels all would work.. but I didn't know how to switch into the menu window to click accept (or deny). I tried with controllers and my hand neither worked. also tried obvious things like the oculus button.

on the quest 2 however no such problem. when the message came up the walkabout golf game obviously backgrounded itself and I was no longer interacting with the game but with the menu. once I clicked accept then the window closed and the game automatically came back into focus.
I was still able to play but no mic which meant my lad could talk to me over the headset but I had to shout for him to hear me in the next room.

it's not a hardware issue , it's software. but there must be a fix as it would be all over the place if not. a reboot didn't sort it tho.

so I tried that but no dice. on the bright side I just uninstalled the game and reinstalled. it then worked exactly as it did on the quest pro so that is now sorted.
but there is more..... this isn't a game issue it's an OS problem.
it's essentially the same kind of issue.

every game I load comes up with a "allow acces to game files " the window is always there. it does not affect games directly that I can tell. ... If I click the game on the task bar I can't see theessage. but as soon as I go back to the desktop that message is there. hopefully next os update will just fix it.

this minor niggle aside I could not be happier with my purchase.
I think it's time to put the G2 up for sale. I don't need 3 headsets.
