Strange, hands are not possible to remove. I have used Virtual Desktop, Meta app with cable, Steam VR, etc., they are always there!
Not always. I did some research and tried everything before making this post. There are users who have exactly the same problem as I do. They eventually solved it by installing the meta app. In those circumstances it's almost as if the app is needed to authenticate the headset similar to playing one of the old quest 2 games.
