Windows Mixed Reality issue - Cannot get past "Connect Your Headset"
Mossfoot

Uuuuuuugh. Why can't anything be simple? Plug and play my posterior.
When I run the Mixed Reality Portal I can't get past "Connect your Headset". I have. I plugged it in, unplugged it, replugged it, etc.... I swapped out different USB 3.0 slots. It just won't pick up. It seems the issue might be related to the 3.0 USB driver. Even though it's recognized, I keep getting error codes tied to it.
This error code - 2181038087-12 lead me to this possible solution:

However, it did not seem to work. Because then I get this error code:

I have already tried unplugging and trying the other 3.0 port, as well as uninstalling and reinstalling the 3.0 driver. Many. Many. Times.
But some progress was made. I unplugged the devices on the other USB ports (2.0) that were tied to it, eventually it felt like I was able to get one step closer. I could get to a screen where it said "Check Your Display Cable". Obviously, I did. Obviously, it was. I disconnected, reconnected, and so on... nothing. I can't get past this step.
I am running an i5-3450 @3.10GHz with a GTX970 and 16GB RAM. I've heard from people running with far weaker setups and no problems

Same problem. I have tried every troubleshooting method I have come across on the internet. I have unplugged and replugged, reinstalled drivers, tried different usb ports countless times. I am running an I5 and a GTX 1060 HP Omen. This is beyond frustrating.
