Windows MR and HP Reverb VR headsets to lose all functionality in Windows 11 24H2, so don’t update if you use those headsets.

I find it despicable that support for working hardware can be just abandoned after only a few years, and at least a basic driver should be released (ideally open source) if not the full WMR package, which few cared about anyway.

I’m hoping that Monado takes off at least as I only used Windows begrudgingly anyway.

    That is fair, but personally I felt WMR is a niche feature and those with VRs can game using Steam or other vr application alternatives.

    I understand that there are people that wanna use this so I get its stupid they’re pulling away a feature that you actually need.

      The problem is those headsets flat out stop working in newer Windows releases. I’d actually prefer if WMR was just a driver + SteamVR/OpenXR shim, but you need the whole thing to use it.
