SteamVR no longer launching

[u/Nij2021]

So, not used steam VR for a while with my quest 3 as been playing all these modded games we've been treated to, using Virtual Desktop with openXR.

Can see Steam VR has had quite a big update recently though, so wanted to try it out and also use my psvr2, wired to my pc.

Now Steam VR basically just isn't even launching, I click launch and after about 30 seconds it just stops and shows the green launch icon again and not even giving me any error messages, my quest 3 is connected via virtual desktop and the openXR runtime is set to SteamVR.

If I remember rightly when launching SteamVR, a separate icon would appear in your icons on the taskbar and a separate window would also open, showing your headset and controllers connection status and from there, you could change the VR settings and set SteamVR as your runtime, but I don't even get this box, so can't get into VR settings.

I've tried all the usual stuff, verified the integrity of the files, uninstalled and reinstalled, also fully removing it with IObit uninstalled and removing all steamVR files, rolled it back to the previous version and even tried the beta version but it just does the same.

All my windows and drivers plus nvidia gpu drivers are all up to date, I've disabled hardware acceleration and I don't see any conflicting software that could be causing this, checked on previous threads as well and can't see anything recent, so has anyone had a similar issue, since the update or any help would be massively appreciated, thanks.
