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)
Base Policies
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceInstall\Restrictions" /v "DenyDeviceIDs" /t "REG_DWORD" /d "1" /f
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceInstall\Restrictions" /v "DenyDeviceIDsRetroactive" /t "REG_DWORD" /d "0" /f
Format
- Do not copy/paste these as-is; only here for reference
- Adjust to specific devices as-needed
Add Prevent Policy
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceInstall\Restrictions\DenyDeviceIDs" /v "#" /t "REG_SZ" /d "PCI\VEN_XXXX&DEV_XXXX&SUBSYS_XXXXXXXX&REV_XX" /f

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

SideQuest
winget install "SideQuestVR.SideQuest"
ADB
- ADB drivers are automatically installed by Oculus
- For general
.apk
installs andadb shell
commands, use SideQuest instead - For 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
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Oculus VR, LLC\Oculus\Config" /v "CoreChannel" /t "REG_SZ" /d "NOUPD8" /f
