Reason for Sale

Got 2 other Vr headsets

My first VR headset. Bought in 2021, maintained it very well. Perfect working condition. The headset was originally shipped with the V1 power box/cable but i upgraded to the improved V2 box/cable. Selling cause i got the quest 3/psvr2 and dont have much space to keep it. Caveat is there is a certain security update on windows 11 that makes windows mixed reality (WMR) redundant. On win 10 there is a cumulative update that lets WMR work again

On Win 11 you need to stay on 23H2 version. Versions after that dont support WMR. There will be a workaround for this soon in Win 11. But for now staying on 23H2 is the only way. I have factored this hassle into the expected price.

Org bill available, Org box i have to search. Either ways i can pack this nicely before i ship. F2f preferred if you live In Chennai.

Is this actually a thing? Any lead you could share?

Yes. So in win 10 they restored WMR in the latest update. For win 11, there is a workaround soon. But upto Nov 2026, the Win 23H2 method should work.

What is your source on this?

This was the discussion on the reddit sub, that someone will figure a workaround. For now blocking update on win11 is the only accepted solution.

I suggest removing references to there being any upcoming Windows 11 workarounds in your listing, because for now there is no credible basis to make that claim.

Iam pretty sure there would be, you can check the Reddit sub. There are plenty of discussions around this.

Can you provide a link to even a single discussion that reliably indicates that proper functionality for this headset can be expected on Windows 11 24H2?

Making an entire line of headsets redundant is very anti-consumer. So Microsoft might do something about it. Like i posted in OP, current solution is to use win 10 or Win 11/23H2, the only hassle being locked out of current security updates on win 11 (or on win 10 after Nov 2025)

Kind of like making a claim that, "There will be a workaround for this soon in Win 11", without having a shred of actual evidence to back it up, I suppose.

So Microsoft might do something about it.

It would be great if Microsoft were to step up, but since there does not seem to have been any indication so far that they will be doing so, and since they have actually removed WMR with 24H2, I would caution buyers against realistically expecting any relief from that quarter.

Yup. Like i said iam willing to factor that into the pricing, should someone be interested.

Iam willing to bet someone will make it work. If people can pirate windows, they can make WMR work.
