What is OVRServer_x64.exe?

OVRServer_x64.exe is an executable file that is part of the Oculus Runtime software. This software is developed by Facebook Technologies and is used to manage and control the Oculus VR headset.

The associated software, Oculus Runtime, is essential for the operation of Oculus VR devices. It provides the necessary drivers and services for the VR headset to function properly. This includes tracking the position and orientation of the headset, rendering the virtual environment, and handling user input.

OVRServer_x64.exe is needed for the Oculus VR headset to function properly. Without it, the headset may not be able to track its position, render the virtual environment, or handle user input correctly. This could result in a poor or non-functional VR experience.

You should not remove OVRServer_x64.exe if you are using an Oculus VR headset. If you are not using the headset, or if the file is causing problems (such as high CPU usage or crashes), you may choose to remove it. Before doing so, it is recommended to check if the file is a legitimate part of the Oculus software and not a virus or malware disguised as OVRServer_x64.exe.

Oculus service/software for hardware use. Safe service.
   
Native Oculus file for Oculus Virtual Reality Headsets. Installs with the Oculus App installer and detects when VR headset is connected in order to launch Oculus services for VR Gaming. Oculus is also called Meta because Facebook aquired them, then Facebook changed it's name to Meta. If you suspect any file to be malware then run a malware scan with Windows Defender or other reputable malware detection software, because some malware deguises itself as other programs. But in general, this process/program is not dangerous.

Its just an oculus/meta add-on for those who have the meta quest app/Oculus app installed on their pc. its a huge resource hog and there isn't any reason for it to be running while the oculus app isn't running, but its not malicious. but its essential to the functionality of pc/vr applications. so, if your a pcvr gamer, DO NOT DELETE THIS, YOUR HEADSET REQUIRES IT. i wish there was some way to make this launch with the quest app and then execute with the app.
