    Kinect "Turn Off" stopped working.


    About two weeks ago i lost the ability to turn off xbox one using kinect. The system recognizes the "Xbox Turn Off" command and brings up the (yes / no) selections, but ignores all commands but "Xbox". The kinect symbol top right does react to me saying
    yes or no (lights up green) but ignores it. All other methods of powering it off work normally, including using a controller to select "yes" from "xbox turn off" screen

    :)

    Kinect is not functional when it is off. You can turn it off to the point that it can neither hear nor see you. What part do you not understand about "IT CAN BE TURNED TOTALLY OFF"

    [/quote]

    And yet people are saying it will respond to commands like Xbox Off................. if Kinect is turned off and therefore nothing is functioning on it, how may I ask is it functioning to respond to certain commands still. To me if its still working its
    not off at all.

    No you can turn it to a standby mode where it will respond to xbox on or xbox off. You can also turn it completely off where it will not respond at all.

    Kinect "Turn Off" stopped working.

    Had this happen to me 3 times i believe... Matter of fact, when this began, slowly each day more and more stopped working command wise. It ended up not hearing anything. Fixed temporarily by a SOFT REBOOT. Hold down power button for 5-8 seconds, unplug
    power cable for 30 seconds, plug all back in and reboot and wait for all to boot back up. This worked for awhile, eventually it took a Factory RESET to get any stability. You can find that in settings and factory reset. Try solution 1 first and see if that
    fixes it, if not reset. Good Luck.

    Kinect

    say xbox stop listening maybe. Or unplug your Kinect, or turn it off in the settings menu on the dashboard. Any of these should work.

    Xbox kinect issue: Mic Icon is always showing

    if you turn the sensor off by going into the kinect settings on the dashboard, it should stop displaying the mic. But if you only turn the kinect mic off, it will still display the mic symbol in the game. As i have one but i just turn the kinect sensor off
    and it turns the mic totally off

    Kinect taking over from headset on Xbone

    I tried typing a fully coherent response and that is all that appeared...sorry.

    The Kinect does not cut off just because there is a mic present.

    The Kinect is still listening for commands

    The mic is only communicating or chatting with others.

    Both work simultaneously but if you're expecting the Kinect to stop listening for commands you will have to turn off the Kinect settings as such.

    Xbox One Kinect Stopped Working

    My XBoxOne suddenly stopped working last night as well. Was there an update recently or something? In addition to my Kinect suddenly bricking, it also stopped turning my TV & receiver off/on. The heck's going on?
