So, the problem plaguing my headset is back, and then it’s not. Let me explain.
Yesterday, I was almost certain it was fixed. My gut feeling was telling me I was celebrating too soon, especially what happened that afternoon.
My parents came home sometime after I reinstalled the WMR software, and my father’s yelling at me to come to his room, as he’s having an issue with his PS4 controllers. They were blinking on and off, indicating to me that they were mysteriously not paired to the PS4. He claims he made no changes, and suddenly they stopped working.
Helped him with the problem and got his controllers to work again, but… how strange this is to happen, after getting my issue fixed.
Could my father’s PS4 be causing my issue? …Nah. It’s never happened before, so why should it happen now?
Checked MR Portal, still working. Played VR for the rest of the day, and shut down my computer.
Today, I turned it on, checked MR Portal feeling that “what if” father’s controllers are interfering. ‘Check your display cable, Error code: 1-4’ greeted me.
WHAT THE FUCK?! I thought I had it fixed! ..Clearly not. So now, I feel I can safely link the thread I made in the WMR Reddit board (here). Now, I have proof a reinstall of the software didn’t work, and proof the October Update is to blame.
I also noticed this message about ‘a restart is required’. Saw this message before, and remembered doing a restart and Windows not picking anything up.
Tried it again, and again Windows wasn’t picking anything up. After, I tried MR Portal, and.. it’s working again!? The hell did the update do to my computer?!?!

This made me nearly completely rewrite the thread, even mentioning about this other error that’s coming from the GPU.
Tried to look up the second (above) error, and saw it wasn’t at all related to the issue at hand. Known bug with the latest drivers, that I’ll have to wait for a fix.
As for the ‘a restart is required’ issue, this has dated back since the Creator’s Update. But the fix said to go somewhere in the Troubleshoot menu, that doesn’t exist.
So, could this be more of a Windows issue, than a Windows Mixed Reality issue? And if so, the only ‘fix’ I can think of, is a clean reinstall of Windows 10 (more like a reinstall of 7, then upgrade to 10). Plus, I don’t even know where the product key for 10 is.
