Issue pairing Vive Index Controller on Windows 11

[CREWvzw]

Hi,

I'm trying to connect a Valve Index Controller while using a Vive Focus 3 with VBS.

I've connected a Vive Tracker Dongle to the PC but when I go to SteamVR to pair the controller, I get the message 'Looking for your VR hardware' and I can't pair any devices.

This set-up works on a different PC running Windows 10 but this issue is occuring on a new desktop running a fresh install of Windows 11.

In attachment is an image showing that VBS is connected to SteamVR, the Watchman/Vive Tracker dongle is connected via USB and finally the error message.

You need to do the ActivateMultipleDrivers trick before you can use 2 different tracking system.

Thank you! On the other system I tested OpenVRSpaceCalibrator which according to its documentation activates it automatically, so that explains that
