Windows MR and HP Reverb VR headsets to lose all functionality in Windows 11 24H2, so don't update if you use those headsets.

I find it despicable that support for working hardware can be just abandoned after only a few years, and at least a basic driver should be released (ideally open source) if not the full WMR package, which few cared about anyway.

I'm hoping that Monado takes off at least as I only used Windows begrudgingly anyway.

I have one of these, but only use it for SteamVR. Does this mean I can't update either?

AFAIK, the drivers come from Windows.

Edit:

From the article:

Existing Windows Mixed Reality devices will continue to work with Steam through November 2026, if users remain on their current released version of Windows 11 (version 23H2) and do not upgrade to this year’s annual feature update for Windows 11 (version 24H2). This deprecation does not impact HoloLens.

Well fuck. This headset is the only reason I keep a Windows PC around at all.
