Rift S: opens Oculus software when nudged...

[Cavallino]

As title folks, I got the Oculus Rift S on my desk, slightest knock against it and it turns on the software which is annoying during an online session of CoD:MW!

Any way to disable this???? Its so annoying!

Use Oculus tray tool to disable the service when you aren't using it.

Create a .bat file on your desktop and name it something like "Rift S stop", or something. Then type the following

net stop OVRService

Save it, then just right-click the file and Run as Admin. The services are now stopped and the Rift S won't come on.
To start the services just do the same, name it something like "Rift S start", and type

net start OVRService

Save it, then just right-click the file and Run as Admin.
As soon as Windows boots to the desktop, I always stop the services until I want to use the Rift.

Or just take the USB cable out of the PC

Have to go round the back to unplug it. Bit of a faf.

Incidentally, if I disable the service from the tray tool, does this mean I have to disable it each time my PC restarts?
No way to have it permanently disabled and then reenable it myself when I want to use it?

This is why it's good to have a short extension cable, so you can unplug the headset without having to dig around the back of the PC to unplug it. Helps also with untangling the cable.
