Solved: Kinect failed to power on.

Problem: The Kinect would fail to power on every time I booted my Xbox from power saving mode. I'd have to unplug and replug in the Kinect for it to work.

Solution: I have the Hauppauge Xbox One USB TV Tuner. Whenever this was connected to my Xbox, the Kinect would disappear on the next hard boot. It didn't matter which port it was installed on, or if I ran it through a powered USB hub or not.

Hypothesis: An OS updates to the Xbox One changed the device initialization process and somehow the Hauppauge Tuner initialization would block/intercept the Kinect device initialization.

XBone OS: 10.0.10586.1202

Kinect Version 4.0.3196.0:7

A bit more of the Saga for those who are interested:

* I first noticed this problem when my Xbox One would fail to turn off the TV. My Kinect, which I use as an IR blaster, wasn't powering on. My device setup hadn't changed for quite some time.

* The Kinect would work fine after I unplugged / replug it in.

* The Kinect would continue to work if I used the Instant On power saving mode. This lead me to suspect it was a device initialization issue, but first I wanted to rule out a USB port or power consumption issue.

* I tested with the Hauppauge on the front left port. Still nothing. I noticed that the device (Tuner) was being initialized very early in the console boot process (the LEDs would come on and then go off again). This is what makes me suspect an initialization
bug.

* I tested with the Hauppauge on both ports via a powered USB hub (To rule out a power draw problem.) Still didn't work

So now I'm stuck with leaving the Hauppague TV Tuner disconnected most of the time until I want to watch over the Air TV.

Here is hoping that Microsoft can patch the XBox OS so I don't have to keep hotswaping the tuner.

NOTE: I also have a Seagate 4GB external drive that I left alone during this whole process.

Xox 360 s NOT START

Problem Solved. , Is a power supply issue. I have a new ac adapter because the original failed.

 

xbox one claims kinect is unplugged.

Hold down the power button on the console for 5 seconds to do a cold reset, then unplug the power for 30 seconds. Power it back on and see if the xbox is communicating with kinect.

If it still thinks the kinect is unplugged, and you know it is actually plugged in correctly, it could be a failed kinect sensor. You would need to contact support to initiate a warranty exchange.

 

This is the exact same issue I have, except that it is my powered external 2TB hard drive that causes the issue on power-saving boot up. I agree that there seems to be some sort of device initialisation problem, or perhaps it is a power draw limit at boot
issue.

Either way, I have to disconnect my hard drive before every boot if I want the Kinect to activate. A minor issue that is nevertheless quite annoying.
