Kinect keeps turning on and off

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.

I have also this weird problem with my Kinect and XBOX One.

Mine is doing this as well but i heard that it might be because of a build up of dust. and that cleaning it out solves this not tried it myself yet but will at some point.

There shouldn't be a buildup of dirt there. Normally the fan is off, and if there is a buildup, and the fan would be on, it might be located too close to a heat source, forcing the fan to turn on. I keep mine on the corner of the fireplace mantle, away from
the TV, which is above it by 17-18 inches. Mine has never overheated, or collected that much dirt, but I clean it regularly by blowing air through it.
