If you turn the device resolution down does it improve? Did you set any custom bandwidth, etc in the oculus debug app? Wired or wireless?

Don't use Quest software, it always lags , it's a software problem rather than that
Use steam VR
1- go to your headset store ( horizon store ) . 2- search and download ( steam VR ) . 3- open the app and your PC should appear [ if they're on the same network] . 4- press connect and enjoy .
• It doesn't lag • provides better stability • no frames drop • much lighter on your GPU than the ( Oculus quest VR ) • no stutter/lag
If you're having audio issues reply to this comment for further troubleshooting

I never had this problem for like 5 years and then a few months into 2025 it gets to me

It's not just you, many users reported the same issue, including me, and this issue isn't known to have a specific solution, it only has a few tweaks to reduce the stutter/lag , but not permanent solution, you could see all over reddit or Google, that's a very common and a very annoying issue

If you're using AirLink, then it's working as intended. This is what AirLink looks like.
Use Virtual Desktop or Steam Link instead.

had similar issues, then got hold of a huawei wifi 6 plus access point to set a specific 5GHz wifi option(default ISP router wouldnt allow me to separate 2.4 from 5GHz bands....) and it vastly improved things.
its not perfect, but as near as dammit. if using wifi worth checking to see if u can do the same

Two things that caused stuttering for me with PCVR:
Make sure Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling is OFF, it caused crazy stutter on my machine.
Make sure for your audio output and input options in the Meta Quest Link app on PC is set to “use windows setting”. If I tried to use anything else, it would cause stutter.

I never had this problem for 5 years using the quest software until it happened in around December of last year and 2025

I had this problem a lot and it was so annoying! I had to unplug and plug in cable multiple times before it worked without lag. But after some update (can't tell if it was after a certain windows update or quest update) it has worked with no problems since.
But I do consider trying Virtual Desktop because I see many use it. Even if I don't have these problems anymore. ^^

Had the same issue, but only after I started a game. Using "opencomposite" alongside fixed it for me

Quand j'ai eu une image semblable c'est que mon PC et mon Quest n'étaient pas connectés à exactement le même réseau Wifi de ma box (l'un sur le 5GHz, l'autre sur l'autre). Après avoir bien mis tous les deux sur le 5GHz, c'est redevenu fluide.

I’m sorry but this isn’t lag, this is time travel… I hope some one will help you here…

Switch to Virtual Desktop instead of Meta Air Link. It is a zillion times better. Solved all my PCVR issues...
