Kinect question please help if you can

I was wondering if they ever got around to adding a option to remove the Kinect to get more power back the the console?

:)

 

Quick question please help if you can!

if you hold down the power button... the power brick light should not go out unless you unplug it. The light in the brick should be white or orange/red.

Hold it down... wait till it shuts down.. unplug it for about 3 minutes... reverse...

see if that works

 

Quick question please help if you can!

but have you done a actual reboot so it is completely powered down and takes a few minutes to boot back up?

more detail, the first time this happened, in the party window it still showed the little circle that goes bold when someone is talking, but my circle wouldn't light up and no one could hear me, unplugging the adapter fixed that. this last time it didn't
even show the circle and i couldn't hear anything, unplugging it didn't help, but holding the power button on the X1 to force a reboot did fix it.

so i just wanted to be clear, if clearing cache meant you rebooted the X1, or just quit the apps, or just went into instant on mode or what.

edit: if you have friend that are local, maybe take it to their house and test on their X1.

 

If you do not wish to use the Kinect sensor then you can certainly unplug it and use the console as is.

 

No what I want to know is the Kinect takes CPU power from the console there was talk about removing that from the console programming to give developers more horse power

 

Yes, they enabled this with the June Developer Kit update. Here is an article with more information:

news.xbox.com/.../xbox-one-xdk-qa

The gist of it is, Microsoft itself didn't disable the Kinect Processing, the added the ability for Developers to turn off Kinect Processing which, with other background processes, adds up to an additional 10% of GPU power now available to Devs who need
it!

 

No problem! BTW, love the signature, I'm a big Rowdy Roddy Piper fan!
