Kinect with xbox one - kinect turns off by itself.

Hey there ElitistDisc5496,

Sorry to hear about the Kinect issues, please try
this guide for when the Kinect sensor won't turn on and see if it helps out with this issue.

Hi there,

if you have tried all trouble shooting steps mentioned on these links:

support.xbox.com/.../kinect-sensor-wont-turn-on

support.xbox.com/.../kinect-sensor-not-recognized-by-console

Then the only option left is to have to Kinect sensor repaired like mentioned on the links. You can set up a repair via

The Kinect sensor itself transmits the commands to power the TV and audio systems on and off and because the sensor isn't working they won't be powered on and off.

Check out these steps if you haven't:

Also, try unplugging the Kinect from the Xbox One and do a power cycle on the Xbox. (hold power button for 10 seconds until it turns off by itself. you should see the green boot screen when you turn it back on)

whats your privacy problem exactly? if its the kinect voice commands can be shut off, and the kinect can be turned off too

You will be able to turn off Kinect for Xbox One

---------------------

You are in control of when Kinect sensing is On, Off or Paused: If you don’t want the Kinect sensor on while playing games or enjoying your entertainment, you can pause Kinect. To turn off your Xbox One, just say “Xbox Off.” When the system is off, it’s
only listening for the single voice command — “Xbox On,” and you can even turn that feature off too. Some apps and games may require Kinect functionality to operate, so you’ll need to turn it back on for these experiences.

The Kinect for 360 doesn't "turn off". You can just unplug it, however. For the Xbox One, follow these instructions:
