Where the cable goes into the headset. You think it’s seated. And then it throws an error message. And they tell you PUSH! PUSH!! and then a tiny click and the thing is properly seated.

The G2 is super finicky with USB. I had mine plugged into one of the rear USB3 ports on my Asus Maximus X. All was working fine at first but then I started getting occasional error codes in WMR and I’d have unplug/replug. Then one day I got flickering the right display. I checked all my settings, rebooted, replugged but nothing worked. I was about to RMA it.
Then I plugged it into the usb-c port on my 2080TI and everything works fine again.
Did I ever tell you about the time I tried to unseat a DisplayPort not knowing that it has that little catch-release built into the plug?

Ah!
I never used force, but it was a little troublesome to find the correct position.
Same here. It did not work initially and when I pushed more and heard the click I thought something broke.
That is the funniest (and truest) thing I’ve read anywhere on the Internet…ever.

Any luck? Did you try disabling and the re-enabling it in device manager?

No luck at all. When thinking hard on what changed between Wednesday afternoon (when I took a short hop) and this afternoon, it’s not hardware. I did have a windows update that ran into problems. It rebooted the box and repeatedly threw hexadecimal error codes. The box works… almost.
I deleted the device in device manager and uninstalled WMR. When I turned the box on after doing that, it did start the WMR setup, but it’s stuck at “connect your headset”. The white light on the power box blinks at about 1hz. Tried different ports, no difference at all.
I measured the power supply output, because unplugging and replugging did not make a difference to the blinky light. It’s a steady 19.5V
In light of the above, I strongly suspect it’s windows that’s borked.
Fork it. Resetting windows now. It’s about time.
Update: motherFORK! That did not fix my ship!
HP support does not want to help me. Only during office hours and by phone for my country. OK.
When I plug the thing in, the white LED blinks about once a second (1hz). If I have the device manager window open at the same time, it flashes a refresh about the same frequency. No new devices seem to get added or removed. It’s like its trying but failing. I tried a different port, on a (powered) hub, on the PCI card, nothing. Or the same.

The power adapter is delivering the juice…?
yes sir, it is.
This gives me pause… 
I recommend pornography at this point.

Tried that, headset still not working. Tried the other tack, a soothing documentary on english gardening, but alas, dead as a doornail.

Then, may I suggest a bourbon barrel aged imperial stout. Or whatever strong libation is at hand, followed by a good night’s sleep, and attack the problem on the morrow with fresh perspective.
