vrOS v1.2.2 Patch Notes
Highlights
Hotfix for two tray bugs: the system-tray "Show Desktop" item now reliably brings the desktop window back, and the tray icon no longer flickers on cursor hover. If "Always start vrOS desktop" was unchecked and the desktop window closed, the only way back used to be wiping AppData — that path now works as intended.
Bug Fixes
- Tray "Show Desktop" now reliably restores the desktop window from every state — minimized to taskbar, hidden to tray, or buried behind other windows. The previous restore path used a bare ShowWindow(SW_SHOW), which on Windows 11 was not enough to un-minimize, raise above other apps, or grab foreground focus, so clicks could look like silent no-ops.
- Tray "Show Desktop" now respawns the desktop child process correctly when "Always start vrOS desktop" is off — including the case where the window was already closed before relaunch, which previously left users unable to recover without wiping AppData.
- System-tray icon no longer flickers when the cursor moves near the tray. The 2-second VR-status refresh timer was rewriting the tray tooltip on every tick regardless of whether VR state changed; Windows 11's tray reads that as a redraw signal. The tooltip is now written only when its value actually changes.
- Tray menu actions now log at info level so failures are visible at default log verbosity.
