If you’re running into random glitches with your Oculus device such as Oculus Rift or Sensor, there may be something wrong with your Oculus driver. To fix the issue and leverage the full power of your VR gears, you should upate your Oculus driver to the latest version, and here are two options for you:

Option 1 – Manually – You’ll need some computer skills and patience to update your drivers this way, because you need to find the exactly right driver online, download it and install it step by step.

OR

Option 2 – Automatically (recommended) – This is the quickest and easiest option. It’s all done with just a couple of mouse clicks – easy even if you’re a computer newbie.

Option 1 – Download and install the driver manually

Device manufacturers will regularly update their drivers to fix bugs or add new features. To get the right Oculus driver, you’ll need to install the Oculus app on your PC. Here’s the detailed guide:

  1. Go to the official support page of Oculus.
  2. Scroll through the page to find your Oculus model and click Download Software to initiate the download process.
  3. Open the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to install the software.
  4. Plug your Oculus device into the computer. Then the Oculus app should automatically detect it and install the appropriate driver.

If this method doesn’t meet your needs, try the easier option below.
