You may need to factory reset the '''Oculus Quest 2'''.  An example would be if any file on the Quest 2 device is corrupted, a factory reset can perhaps be the simplest way to resolve the issue.

To enable a factory reset, you can either do it the manual or mobile way.

In your Quest 2 menu, go to your settings, go to backups, and make sure automatic Cloud backups is on.

If you have done this, you may proceed to the next steps.

To do a manual factory reset, hold the volume button down and the power button, and wait for the headset to prompt you with a message asking if you want to perform a factory reset. Select '''Yes''' and continue.


== '''Mobile Reset''' ==


On the '''Meta Quest''' mobile app on a mobile device, go to your Feed, select your headset on the top, then a pop-up will appear. Select your headset, in this case the Quest 2, and scroll down to Headset Settings. Once you are there, select Advanced Settings, and go to Factory Reset. '''From there, your mobile device will prompt you on whether you would like to reset or not.''' Since we are doing a reset, select continue.

Afterwards, your headset will automatically begin erasing all data on-board the device, and return to its default startup interactive page, where you will need to perform all actions and settings necessary to reach your home environment again. Once at your hub, you are able to re-install all previous applications and such.
