XR glasses not detected or no signal on Windows
Display glasses need video over USB-C. "No signal" almost always comes down to the port, the cable or a Windows setting.
- Use the glasses' own cable. Many USB-C cables carry only charging or USB 2.0 data.
- Try another port. Look for a DisplayPort or Thunderbolt symbol. See ports and adapters.
- Press Win+P and choose Extend or Duplicate.
- Settings › System › Display › Detect.
- Update GPU drivers.
- Plug in the charger; some laptops limit USB-C power on battery.
- Screen-off toggle: some glasses have a display on/off button (e.g. XREAL documents a double-click of the mode button on the Air 2 Pro).
Complete VR Studio can't create a video signal; Windows must see the glasses first.
