What is your feature request regarding to?
Atlas Playbook
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Oculus services take up resources even when not in use
Describe the solution you would like.
Add an option to set Oculus VR Runtime Service (OVRService) Service to run on demand instead of launching automatically and also add a option to the context menu to disable the oculus service
Describe alternatives you have considered.
Manually set the Oculus service to on demand using the services app in windows. The only side effects this causes is not being able to start Oculus (Meta Quest) link from the headset and longer app load times
Additional context.
I am happy to provide further info if needed
How is this related to windows? If you want it, do it yourself.
90% of users won't have the OVR services.
This is meant as an additional feature that anyone who needs it can enable it. For example Atlas OS has a feature to disable Nvidia display container. People who use AMD GPUs don't need this but it doesn't mean It's not useful

A larger chunk of people have nvidia gpus than an Oculus headset. Most people would just set up ALVR anyway, voiding the need for Oculus Hub entirely (as long as all your games are on SteamVR).
However, you'd have to see what the team says, this is just my opinion :P
Oculus is not included in Windows, AtlasOS is meant to be installed on a fresh installation of Windows, anything beyond that is out of scope for this project. Nvidia and AMD related toggles are base-level hardware support, not accessories, which is why it would make sense to include these. Windows installs Nvidia and AMD drivers automatically, as they are required for base-level functionality of the PC.
With that being said, if you still insist this is a highly valuable function, I suggest opening a pull request for it, but it is extremely unlikely anyone associated with AtlasOS will research and investigate something they may or may not even have the hardware required to test with, in order to add this functionality for the likely small number of users who would use it.

I have a Quest 2, but my PC runs Linux :)
Still, personally I'd just use ALVR.
Since this is not a bug nor is related to Atlas, I will close this issue.
