New Update Causes Kinect Not to be Recognized

I have an X1 and have not experienced this. My biggest problem so far was my Kinect not recognizing the word "yes" after the update a month or so ago. Luckily the new update fixed this for me.

Not to necro this post but, I believe the new update for the console and kinect may have caused more issues.

Hi there,

that the TV and Audio aren't powered on or off, is likely caused due to the Kinect Sensor not working, since the Kinect can send the signals to do those actions.

Please try these trouble shooting steps to see if you can get the Kinect to power up again:

Hi,

i'm sharing the X1 with the whole family and had none of these problems.

At the time, we have downloaded the profiles on the X1 and Kinect is recognizing the person of thes gamerprofile, only one person was in sight of the Kinect sensor.

We have done this with every person and had no fails yet.



Maybe you can reinstall your gamertags and start the recognization from new.

Kinect is learning over the time so the recognization will be much more accurate the next time.

Hello MeerBrewer,

I regret to say I do not have an Xbox One Kinect. But, this maybe a situation where the Kinect itself needs to be updated, see Update your Kinect sensor at "Your
Xbox One Kinect Sensor won’t turn on". Also, you can find more information at "Troubleshoot issues with the Xbox One Kinect Sensor" and "Kinect
sensor isn't recognized by your Xbox One S or original Xbox One console". Let us know if this helps.
