Prevent Driver Changes
Notes
- To be done after a proper driver is manually installed
- This ensures Windows Update nor anything else can replace installed drivers for specific devices unattended
- Additional entries need to add a new number (the value after
/v
) - The device ID can be acquired from Device Manager and should be pasted as-is (no extra slashes)

- This lowers average Motion-to-photon latency by about 4ms for a Rift CV1 (19ms to 15ms)

ADB
ADB drivers are automatically installed by Oculus
For general
.apk
installs andadb shell
commands, use SideQuest insteadFor sideloading firmware updates, SideQuest cannot be used, and thus will need the
platform-tools
package below
Backup/Restore
Installer
- Let Oculus download its 5GB+ installer
- While it is installing, backup the
C:\OculusSetup-DownloadCache
folder The backup must be done after the download, and while Oculus is installing
- If restoring, transfer 5GB+ to
C:\OculusSetup-DownloadCache
and start the Oculus installer If an updated Oculus client is available, it will download instead of restoring
Client
- Go to the
Oculus\Support
folder - If there's 15 folders, backup everything except
oculus-dreamdeck-nux
,oculus-touch-tutorial
, andoculus-worlds
12 folders should be included in the backup and it should be around 605MB if archived
- This has been true with versions pre-V12, V18-V30
- For restoring, stop the Oculus service through command or Debug Tool, delete the existing 12 folders, restore the 12 folders from backup, and start the Oculus service
%OculusBase%\Support
Prevent Client Updates
- This sets the update channel to something unknown, so the Oculus client can't compare its version to check for updates
To revert this, it may be enough to toggle the
Public Test Channel
option from Oculus
LIVE
StablePublicTest
= Public Test Channel/PTCNOUPD8
= Some nonsense value
