It doesn’t connect, it starts up steam vr, but shuts it down after like 10 seconds. im using WMR, and i never really had problems with steamvr.

is this psmoveservice ?
C:\PROGRA~2\PSMOVE~1\drivers\psmove

[Hunter Moore]

Yes i am using the psmoveservice

[Hunter Moore]

Yes it is

[Greg Driver]

can you try uninstall?
what is your setup? you use kinect for head tracking and psmoveservice with ps eye camera for controller trakcing?
if you use kinect for hand tracking then don’t need to install psmmoveservice driver for steamvr.

I dont know if this is the right thread but it is what popped up on google. I have this warning that i would like to get rid of: C:PROGRA~2\PSMOVE~1\drivers\psmove
It says this can potentially cause problems and i dont know if i have missed some files of psmoveservice. the file path C:PROGRA~2\PSMOVE~1\drivers\psmove does not lead anywhere in windows. how do i completely uninstall psmove service?

I found out what caused psmove drivers conflict.

PSA : Check and delete old SteamVR external drivers ! from WindowsMR

Specifically this part:
“It’s in c:\uers<youruser>\AppData\Local\openvr\openvrpaths.vrpath and I was able to remove the ‘old’ driver entries.”

[Greg Driver]

hi. glad you sorted this out.
you can also remove drivers by command
vrpathreg removedriver “path-to-driver”
