Final thoughts

I am super stoked about developers climbing aboard the VR/AR hype train. As a mere consumer of VR, I can only hope for more and more creative minds to get on board. If you're a VR/AR developer, or even better yet, a macOS VR/AR developer, what other ways can Apple help promote virtual reality on their platform? Let us know in the comments!

If you have any windows related queries, we will be glad to assist you.

Well if you had actually read my post instead of acting like a bot that detected the keyword 'xbox' and then spit out a generic 'this isn't our problem' reply, you would have realized that my problem actually has almost nothing to do with an xbox (I don't even own one...) and a lot to do with windows drivers and the device manager? You even linked to the directions that I mentioned in my original post, which I said I followed, but they didn't work. It seems like every time a 'microsoft engineer' replies to one of my posts on here it's complete none sense. <.<
