How to Fix Updating Issues on My Quest 2

There are multiple reasons why your Quest 2 may have trouble updating. In most cases, there’s no cause for alarm. Here are a few possible solutions to this problem:

• Make sure your Oculus Quest 2 is connected to Wi-fi. Your internet connection should be strong and stable to facilitate any updates.
• Restarting your Quest 2 can often resolve update issues. To restart your device, hold down the power button for 10 seconds until the device turns off, then press the power button to turn it back on.
• Clear the cache by going to the settings menu and selecting the “Device” tab. Then click on “Storage.” From there, you can reach the “Clear Cache” option.
• Try searching for system updates on your Oculus Quest 2. You can find the “System Updates” option on the settings menu, in the “Device” tab.
• Enter safe mode by pushing the power button and volume down for about 10 seconds. From there, follow the screen instructions to update the software.
• This last step is a last resort. You can factory reset your Oculus Quest 2. This will erase all data and settings on the device, so be sure to back up any important data before proceeding with the reset. You can find the “Factory Reset” option in the “Device” tab in “Settings.”
