Chosen Solution
Hi there! Just dug my old kinect for Xbox one out of the junk box and it’s not working when plugged into my pc. I had previously modified it to work on pc by soldering in an extra power adapter, and it worked completely fine back then, however now when i plug it in it works for a couple of seconds, overheats and then shuts off. Rinse repeat. The fan wasn’t spinning so i thought it might be a faulty fan after reading a reddit post, so i ordered a new one and nada, nothing, still dead. Anything i can do about it or is it toast? Thank you!
If it is shutting down after a moment following manual replug, and staying off.. try hardwiring the fan or otherwise adjusting the cooling.If windows shows it repeatedly connecting and disconnecting on its own, try this solution I found years ago when I first started using Kinect v2 on PC:reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Processor /v Capabilities /t REG_DWORD /d 0x7e060 I don’t recall where I found that exactly, but I saved it in my general scripts folder as “IntelPowersave(ReDisKinecting).bat” (my shorthand for Kinect disconnecting and reconnecting)
