UPDATE 2/9: Added an important known issue for Dev Drive users. Please see the known issues below.
Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26052 to the Canary
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.
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.

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.
