    Hi Mike,

    Just to confirm a couple things.  First you looked here.  https://www.meta.com/help/quest/articles/in-vr-experiences/oculus-features/mixed-reality-meta-quest/?

    1. You are on v72 of the Meta OS for your Quest 3?
    2. You toggled on the " Pair to PC with Mixed Reality Link" in the Quest 3's experimental settings?
    3. At that point it should have asked you to install Mixed Reality link and sent an email to your Meta ID account.
    4. Did you install Mixed Reality Link on your PC that you are trying to connect to?  If not, please go here. https://aka.ms/MRLink to install it. 
    5. When you went to Meta's RDPA (remoted desktop app) did you notice that Windows App was installed on your Quest 3 from that process?  If not, please install Windows App on your Quest 3
    6. After all of that, you should then be able to see your PC to be paired.  You should see a "toast" that appears above your keyboard that you can also click to start pairing.  

    If you did all of those things and the Quest 3 is still not seeing your PC, please make sure that both your Quest 3 and PC are on the same network.  You won't be able to do this over USB-C with your Quest 3 tethered to your PC.  It has to be your Quest 3 getting to your PC via your router and the PC is either Wi-Fi or ethernet connected.  

    If all of that still doesn't work please file feedback hub with this link https://aka.ms/mixedrealitylinkfeedback and we can then get a better understanding of what might be going on.  Given that it isn't clear if it is the PC or the Quest 3, if you are willing to file more feedback to help us help get you unblocked, please do all the feedback steps in this article.  https://aka.ms/MRLinkGetHelp
