Check the symptom first

Check first for difficulty setting up a PC stream, a native SteamVR game that refuses to launch, shows frequent extreme graphical glitches, or crashes the device, and an interface that disappears after adding a seventh virtual screen.

For difficult PC stream setup, restart the stream and check or restart the desktop SteamVR session. If a native game crashes the device or the interface disappears after adding the seventh virtual screen, reboot the headset.
