Last nigh when I opened VAM in VR I found that I can no longer "grab" the world by pressing down on the joystick and moving around. I went in and checked that the setting for that function is still active in "User Preferences" "VR" and it is, I also tried toggling it, restarting everything and no luck. this is on a fairly "new to me" Windows11 computer. I have to admit that I have had a lot of problems with WIndows11 getting everything working. Any suggestions on where to look?
 
After searching everywhere and a time wasted chat with support at Meta, I decided to try and remap my controllers. Unfortunately, the function of pressing the josysticks down is not even listed. But then and just because I press every button when I get frustrated, I clicked on "Reset Controllers" and right away I noticed that the icons for the joysticks changed. I then loaded up Vam and YAY!!! I have the ability grab the world again. This is an important feature if you want to navigate in Vam with only controller, and I really want to do it that way! Apparently, the update changed the mapping of the joysticks, I had no idea that the reset function would go back to the original default, apparently neither did the Meta people, so I don't feel too bad. I thought I would share this in case anyone else ever has this problem.
