My avatar disappears when using SteamVR keyboard

[piey]

Everytime I pop up the SteamVR keyboard, my avatar gets thrown far away. Is there a way to fix this?

What is your set up? Which headset, wired or wireless, do you have body trackers?
My best guess with the limited info you have given, is that whatever headset and/or software you use does not properly deal with steamVR.
But I could be very mistaken, because you have not really shared useful information.

Quest Pro, Index controllers and 4 vive 3.0s

I only have this... copied from my previous post. Kind regards.

If you're looking at yet another Reset? I don't know about Quest? But this is what I know about PC's.

If all of a sudden you have Worlds or Games you cannot open or that don't work properly, this is the typical behaviour of a Bug which damages the Steam Client & Windows 11.

Did you click on an untrusted-url, or a software add-on called 'VRChat installation helper'?
These programs corrupt PC's right through to the Steam client and the games you purchased.
There is no definitive answer.
Steam becomes corrupt. You can't play the games you paid for until you Wipe your PC.
The corruption may be due to cross-platforms e.g. PC and stand alone Headset's.

Windows Reset won't work, and the Previous-versions method of Recovery via the Control Panel won't work either. This is because the Bug sticks to the Hard Disk until it has been completely wiped (to 0's & 1's).

The CORRUPTED FILES CANNOT BE REMOVED until you start over with a HEAVILY (GPT) FORMATTED HARD DRIVE and a new copy of Windows 11. (Virtually a brand new Hard Drive. Doh.)

Only then can you install a brand new copy of Steam and reinstall the games you have purchased.

DO NOT CLICK ON SOFTWARE ADD-ONS. DO NOT USE UNTRUSTED LINKS.

CLONE YOUR HARD DRIVE FOR RECOVERY.

Kind regards.

Dude, what have you been doing? Untrusted urls in VRchat should not do anything, except maybe crash VRchat itself.
And then about the installation helper. Do you even know what it is and what it does? Because all it does is tell your internet browser (Firefox, Chrome, Edge...) that some urls can be passed along to the "vrchat" program. You know, when your browser asks "Do you want to open this link in an external application?" Yeah, that is all the installation helper does.
If that corrupts Windows 11, stop using Windows 11 because it gets corrupted by link handlers.

And how are you connecting the Quest Pro? Steam Link, Oculus Link, something else?

Anyway, my best guess is your body trackers' driver doing something weird/not respecting SteamVR's "pause/menu mode"

Virtual Desktop, wireless. Sometimes SteamVR breaks up my body, sometimes it doesn't, but 90% of the time it does make it disappear.

Maybe it is a "conflict" between your actual trackers, and Virtual Desktop's FBT Approximation trackers.
(Yes, VD has "fake fbt", I think it works decently enough)

It's a setting in steamvr that disconnects your controllers from being tracked by games while your keyboard is open to prevent worms from getting password info. You can disable it in the steamvr settings

Do you happen to know where that setting is? I went through the settings multiple times and I couldn't find it.

It should be called keyboard privacy in the dashboard section of the steamvr settings, downgrading versions may also help if you can't find the option
