Msdn forums - Kinect for Windows v2 SDK (microsoft.com)

Hello todd sylvia,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing lag issues with your Xbox One Kinect on your PC. This can be very frustrating and I will try my best to help you.



According to your description, it seems that the problem started after an app called Intel Graphics Command Center appeared on your PC. This app is designed to optimize the graphics settings for Intel integrated graphics cards, but it may interfere with the performance of the Kinect Studio v2.0 software. You mentioned that you uninstalled this app, but it had no effect on the issue. This could be because some of the settings changed by the app are still in effect.



One possible solution is to reset the graphics settings to their default values. To do this, you can follow these steps:



- Right-click on your desktop and select Intel Graphics Settings.

- Click on System and then on Reset Options.

- Click on Restore Defaults and then on Yes to confirm.

- Restart your PC and try running the Kinect Studio v2.0 software again.



If this does not solve the problem, another possible cause could be a recent update or driver installation that affected the compatibility of the Kinect Studio v2.0 software with your PC. You can try rolling back to a previous version of the software or the driver and see if that helps.



To roll back to a previous version of the Kinect Studio v2.0 software, you can follow these steps:



- Go to Control Panel and select Programs and Features.

- Find Kinect for Windows SDK 2.0 in the list and click on Uninstall/Change.

- Follow the instructions to uninstall the software.

- Go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44561 and download an older version of the software (for example, version 2.0.1410.19000).

- Install the software and restart your PC.

- Try running the Kinect Studio v2.0 software again.



To roll back to a previous version of the driver for your graphics card, you can follow these steps:



- Go to Device Manager and expand Display adapters.

- Right-click on your graphics card and select Properties.

- Click on Driver and then on Roll Back Driver.

- Follow the instructions to restore the previous driver.

- Restart your PC and try running the Kinect Studio v2.0 software again.

I hope these solutions work for you and you can enjoy using your Xbox One Kinect on your PC without any lag issues.



Thank you for choosing Microsoft.

What is a good use for Kinect then?
A boxing game seems to be a pinnacle to show what Kinect can offer.

It is far from the pinnacle of what it has to offer, more like the lowest part of what it can offer.

Use your imagination, there is a lot of technology in Kinect2.

Not a great use of Kinect the lowest part of what it can offer. Quit trolling Kinect Dark other wise explain your self.

You clearly don't know how to read...dude is saying that the kinect can be more then just be a rockem sockem robot controller.

Well I thought he was talking about the whole boxing genre not a certain boxing game it self. To be fair I did say a boxing game.



I still believe the boxing game genre is great way to show what Kinect can offer. Skeleton Tracking, no other motion controls can do that heartbeat detection could have in game fatigue and stamina and even the muscle contraction of the legs could teach proper
boxing technique and how to throw.



Skeleton Tracking, Heartbeat Detection

Hi there,

from what I can find is that you need to use the SDK version that is suited for the first Kinect sensor (the 360 one)

and I think this is the latest:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40278

The SDK 2.0 version is meant for the new Kinect sensor that for example came with the Xbox One console, so different hardware and it requires that newer sensor (so not the 360 one)
