Jesus is this still not working?
Ok hows about open up device manager and open the usb section and the video card section and take a screeny for on here.
I presume windows is back to the latest version and on all the latest drivers from the manufacturers at this point?

It didn't work. But I'm not going to blame you melmac.
Wahh, it's all my fault!!!
Had some spare time, so re-installed Windows this afternoon.
Still doesn't work.
I didn't think a windows reinstall would work. After you said that it worked until you upgraded the firmware, I wasn't convinced that your windows install was the problem.
This just gets stranger and stranger!! How frustrated are you right now?? Damn!!
Are you connected to your monitor using display port or HDMI?
Just something I read recently, but, does your windows logon username contain any non alphanumeric characters?
Have you your CPU or memory overclocked?
Nothing overclocked.
Username is entirely alphanumeric.
Connected using DisplayPort.
It's fairly frustrating, just lucky that it only impacts the ability to play VR games, so there's plenty more I can do.
I guess there's the potential that I'll just have to wait for further firmware updates and hope one fixes it.

It will be something in windows, mine did similar until i wiped it. ALthough it could be a piece of software or something not connected with windows that getting in the way.
Now i dont know what the reinstall has done but a full and complete wipe did fix mine but it needs to go back on properly.

He did a complete reinstall, it didn't work. Your reinstall worked because you were using an N version of windows and a dev version at that.
Is it possible to install an older version of the runtime using something like wayback machine or from some other file repository, just to confirm that it's still the latest update that's the cause of the issue.
Obviously as soon as you go online it will want to update to the latest version but you could try some VR game/experience that works without being online. Again, just to confirm the duff update.

My version was also faulty, i am still running N but with the required assets running now - which i could not before as it was a broken dev version.
Without seeing the install thats been done its hard to gauge if its running properly though.
Already tried both those.
I do very much appreciate both the suggestions and the emotional support on this thread though.

Long shot, do a complete removal of the Oculus software again, Including deleting the folders etc. There should be a guide online. Then create a local account with admin rights and try install the software on that account.
I am presuming that your windows account is a Microsoft one.
To be honest, I'm going to leave it alone for at least a few days, to let the frustration levels subside. But once I return to it, I may give that one a try. I already have the full instructions for a full Oculus wipe, since support had me perform one.
Sounds unlikely, what card's in your B-I-L's machine? You mentioned that it all works on his rig.
Would your card work on his machine or his card on yours?

Worth giving it a go if you both have the time/inclination. I had my rift running on a core2quad and a 780TI, not a great experience, but it worked. His card may point to an issue with your card.
