Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When selecting Devices / Controller Settings in SteamVR (beta 16.8 or stable), the controller settings window doesn't open.

Steps for reproducing this issue:
Select Devices / Controller Settings in SteamVR on the desktop. A window should open - it does not.

Hello @FictionX, this interface should need vrwebhelper to render. It was temporarily disabled in SteamVR Beta 1.5.6 due to general stability issues.

You should be able to test this component by adding STEAMVR_WEBHELPER=1 %command% to SteamVR's launch options.

So I just tried it and it's a mess. It spawned about 15 vrwebhelper processes, opened two windows and it crashed SteamVR as well as Steam.

Thanks @kisak-valve . I forgot about that. I guess Skyrim VR is off the playlist until this has been fixed.

I tried STEAMVR_WEBHELPER=1 %command%, but had the same issues as Zamundaaa.

If you need to change the bindings, you can also use http://localhost:8998/dashboard/controllerbinding.html in the browser.
Oh and for safety: when it crashed for me, the display stayed on or turned on again after the crash... You should probably double check that, burnin isn't fun.

@Zamundaaa Thanks a lot!

Still crashes. Spawns a few empty windows, and lots of vrwebhelper processes that do nothing but use 1% of the CPU. The SteamVR window says
Headset Error
Make sure your headset's display is in fullscreen mode
Enable fullscreen mode (-202)
This is especially bad as having webvrhelper enabled is the only way to disable Async Reprojection, which is sadly currently necessary in order to play Pavlov comforably.

This works reliably for me now.
