Kinect continually needs hard shutdown to start

You can use any webcam there is no need for the kinect no more thats why it was shutdown

just wondering if your using Kinect? if you do, any movement that the kinect picks up will reset the timer for auto shutdown when idle.

Also any Controller thats connected to the console via the play and charge kit wont enable the auto idle shutoff even if its turned on.

Not sure if your using an external Hard drive for storage but i think that also affects the auto shutdown when its pluged in?

Your 360 will need to be on to enable the download to start, even if you queue items from the website, and you can then turn it off and continue the download providing you have Background Downloads enabled.

To do that go to System Settings, Console Settings, Startup and Shutdown, Background Downloads, now select Enable.

I've got my xbox one with kinect bundle less than a year ago. I've noticed that my kinect worked fine until a couple of months ago. Then I started having this aparently random shutdowns. I've tried soft and hard resets but it doesn't help. I don't know it
it's related to a SW update or not. It' seems to be a lack of quality (SW or HW I don't know) issue if it happens to many people and in my case happened even before the 1 year warranty expired.

I've got probably about 10 hours in and have noticed the game freezing/crashing several times. Had to do a hard shutdown once. I hope it's not anything that can cause RRD, this console is fairly new (bought with kinect last fall).
