Prior fixes in the forums for SteamVR/VR games won't start:
1) Update GPU driver or try rolling back AMD driver ( https://steamcommunity.com/app/250820/discussions/0/4137187221851895565/ )
2) Reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2013 64 bit.
3) You must have SteamVR installed. Try different versions of SteamVR by either switching to the stable branch or to the beta branch. If you are an oculus user, you still must have SteamVR for most steam games.
4) If you are using a laptop, see if your laptop has an option to disable the integrated GPU, either via the laptop manufacturer’s control software or in the BIOS. If no such option exists, try forcing both the game and SteamVR to use the dedicated GPU. If you need instructions, see here ( https://www.windowsdigitals.com/force-chrome-firefox-game-to-use-nvidia-gpu-integrated-graphics/ )
5) If you are using a laptop with an AMD Ryzen processor, a very particular fix that has helped a number of people is to go to the Device Manager, then disable and re-enable the integrated Radeon graphics.
6) Reinstall steam. ( https://steamcommunity.com/app/250820/discussions/0/3601219829870413249/ )
7) uninstall the Citrix remote desktop display adapter in device manager ( https://steamcommunity.com/app/698260/discussions/2/3598968030048391526/ ) https://www.windowsdigitals.com/force-chrome-firefox-game-to-use-nvidia-gpu-integrated-graphics/
8) unplug HMD, uninstall USB devices (also for steamvr starts but stuck in floor) ( https://steamcommunity.com/app/1704080/discussions/0/3758852249519942171/ )
9) Uninstall Virtual Desktop ( https://steamcommunity.com/app/1125240/discussions/0/4039230885219702181/?tscn=1703542225 )
10) Change openxr runtime to SteamVR. Open SteamVR settings via the ≡ button in the top-left of SteamVR on your Desktop. Go under "OpenXR" and select "SET STEAMVR AS OPENXR RUNTIME" for your system. Restart SteamVR and reconnect then see if your games launch. ( https://steamcommunity.com/app/250820/discussions/2/4036978698796173614/?tscn=1703637799 )
11) If unreal engine 4 game on 10th or 11th gen intel cpu, try this fix ( https://steamcommunity.com/app/590690/discussions/0/3055111535926023249/ )
12) Don't launch SteamVR with elevated privledges, and be careful about it inheriting elevated privledges from steam ( https://steamcommunity.com/app/250820/discussions/2/7056649947876468494/?tscn=1710526349 )
