Sensor Check Solution
Oculus Port Devices Driver Windows 10
When I received my Oculus Rift S I thought I met all the prerequisites until I plugged it in. My problem was one little oversight that Oculus didn’t know either. I was running an older version of Windows 10 that I had never updated. Here is the solution to getting your Oculus Rift S to pass the sensor check.
If you want to watch Bigscreen’s movies in VR but can not get the Oculus Rift S to work, because of Display Port and USB 3.0 problems, there is a solution, but it does not come from Oculus Support. The Oculus Rift DK2 includes a number of upgrades over the DK1, one of those being a conveniently placed USB port for people who want to experiment with other devices attached to the Rift, like.
You can determine if you are in the USB mode by opening the Devices tab of the Oculus PC app and then clicking on your headset. If you are in this mode, you should see a green tick mark. However, if it is only showing up as USB 2, then you should try out every USB 3.0 port on your PC. Device manager says its working fine and fully up to date with whatever driver Windows 10 has installed for it. No I havent tried any other USB 3 devices as I havent got the machine here with me sadly. Its hard wired to the Motherboard and I also tried the front USB 3 port still no difference.
First check your camera permissions for Windows 10. You may need to give apps permission for access your camera. Go to: Settings->Privacy->Camera; Make sure “Allow apps to access your camera” is On. (Note: as of Firmware 1.7.1 this may not be required)
Check your Device Manager for a category called “Other” with “Rift S” listed. Below are screen shots of how the Device Manager should look like. Before Firmware 1.7.1, the sensor was listed under Cameras. Firmware 1.7.1 listed the sensor in Imaging devices.
If you see the sensor listed under “Other” or if the sensor has a little yellow “Caution” icon in your Device Manager, you will need to update your version of Windows 10. I have confirmed that the Oculus Rift S works with Windows 10 1809 and did not work with Windows 10 1703. Download ralink mobile phones & portable devices driver windows 7.

Microsoft does not force people to upgrade their version of Windows. You need to do this yourself and the best way to do this is by downloading the Windows Update Assistant program from their website.
Note: When updating your version of Windows, you have the option to keep your files and programs, or to start fresh. Read carelessly.
After upgrading, your computer will need sometime to automatically update all drivers and Windows software.
You can manually update your Oculus drivers by running the drivers installer that Oculus has provided on your computer.

Hopefully Oculus will do more testing before releasing new productions in the future.
