I think the kinect keeps turning off xbox one

I can think of a great reason to keep kinect 2.0 in all sold xbox one boxes.....to p*ss off all the kinect haters.

In order to use the Kinect on your PC you would need this https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Kinect-Adapter-One-Windows/dp/B01GVE4YB4

Hi there,

be sure to check out this 'old' thread, it has some suggestions regarding this issue that you can try:

Let us know the results

I was told by MS support that it should be placed in an open area not to close to objects or heat. They don't recommend opening it up, but do recommend making sure the venting is clean. Blowing it out with compressed air is not recommended by staff, but
vacuum hose is sufficient to blow dirt out of it.

I do think the software should be changed for the fan operation, where the fan is on whenever the unit is on. I do think it is possible to have the settings of it changed where it is possible to manually configure it to the needs of the user.

It appears that there is an intermittent Kinect driver issue, which turns it on, off and calibrates it. Yesterday I found there was a problem of Kinect sign in, giving me a code 0x80a40008, but also noticed there was an issue of the Kinect working properly.
I did a hard reset, and factory reset, but when I did a factory reset, the Kinect refused to calibrate before I entered my sign in information (it should calibrate the Kinect before the sign in info is entered, not after). I redid the factory reset which then
it calibrated the Kinect before I entered my sign in info.

With the Kinect drivers, it turns it on through software (not hardware switching) as well as overall function of it. Persistent cashe might be part of the problem, where the cashe is overloading the driver function, but I think the driver in the Kinect might
be the sole source of the problem, where the drivers in the console and in the Kinect don't communicate well. Might need a revision of the driver software in both the Kinect and console to resolve the problem.
