The last few updates really seems to have made the Quest 2 finicky.  I really like the system when it works, but their software updates have really been crappy lately as far as I can tell.

First of all, when you start it up, does it find your Guardian boundary ok and tracking is ok?  Assuming that's alright, try this:

1)  Plug it into the link cable if it isn't.
2)  Close the oculus app on your computer.
3)  Hold the power button on the Oculus and choose restart (don't power down and power up) the headset.
4)  When it comes up, it should ask you to allow data access to the cable.
5)  It should at this point ask you if you want to enable Link.  Click yes.
6)  Start AH.
7)  Click Yes to "Do you want to use your Oculus".

Yeah, that's what I get to do every time I want to play AH.

When it works, it works well for me, but in the last couple months I've had issues (confirmed from various sources online) where it would lose my Guardian boundary every time I tried to use it and I would literally have to do a factory freaking reset to fix it.  Then it would work once, then I would have to do another factory reset the next time I wanted to use it.  If it's having trouble finding your guardian/tracking, you might have to do that to resolve it.

The hardware's pretty decent but their software appears to have been created by a guy sitting under a bridge huffing gasoline and talking to a pool noodle he's drawn a face on when he has a question.

It also might be worth updating your graphics drivers

For instance a few weeks ago my Steam Index VR kept crashing and I needed to download a special fix. It wasnt anything related to AH either, just the Steam index software/hardware whatever

There are two VR portals with the Quest. The wireless Quest portal and the wired Oculus portal. Run AH3 from the wired Oculus portal. It won't run from the Quest portal even if it's wired.

It's how both my boys are able to play. Oculus PC software, wired connection, but you need a USB 3.1 cable to a USB 3.X port on your computer (non ASMedia). And the cable you use must be Oculus link compatible.

Also - make sure your nVidia/AMD drivers are up to date. What OS are you using Goose?

Where do you find this setting?

It's not a setting. When you connect the proper USB cable you get a choice between power only or you can open a data link to your PC and run the PC version of Oculus using the Quest2 just as a headset.
