Do not use HDMI extension cables.

Ensure that the latest Mixed Reality driver is installed. With your headset connected, check for Windows Updates.
•
Unplug and re-plug the USB and HDMI cables.

Cannot trace the boundary
•
Don't get too close to a wall or other obstruction.
•
Ensure the sensor is not blocked and there is enough light.

The space you are tracing should be larger than 3 square meters.

Do not intersect your own path as you are tracing.
•
If you get stuck in a corner, start over.
I want to skip boundary tracing

If you choose not to set up a boundary, you will need to stay in place while using your headset; it may not be safe to move around.
