It has reportedly been out of stock at all the usual retailers - Microsoft and big chain speciality stores - for several months.Īlthough there haven't been any notable Kinect or even Kinect-optional releases for quite some time, the camera still serves as a platform for voice commands for your console, if that sort of thing floats your boat and doesn't trigger your Alexa, and can serve as a chat microphone in a pinch. The Kinect adapter was offered free in the months following the Xbox One S launch in 2016 before going on sale for $40 thereafter. 'After careful consideration, we decided to stop manufacturing the Xbox Kinect Adapter to focus attention on launching new, higher fan-requested gaming accessories across Xbox One and Windows 10,' Microsoft said in a statement issued to Polygon. The adapters are required for Xbox One S and Xbox One X, which lack the unique proprietary port seen in launch model Xbox One consoles.

Microsoft has ceased production of the adapters needed to use Kinect cameras with newer model Xbox Ones. What should/can I do to get this to work? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.Xbox One fans wanting to use Kinect features should move to snap up remaining adapter stock. My motherboard is an MSi MS-7A72, but haven't seen this one reported as incompatible. I've read that in some cases the motherboard causes the issues. So I am quite stumped, Kinect works, Adapter Works, all drivers are up to date, I have the Kinect SDK and Runtime installed (though not showing up in Device Manager). After I installed the Kinect SDK and Runtime, when I check in my Device Manager I do not see the Kinect Sensor Devices tab, as if nothing of the like was installed.

The light on the adapter turns on as well, but not the Kinect itself. Not even that it's an unknown device, it's just not there. When plugged into a USB 3.0 port as instructed my computer does not recognize anything has been plugged in. The Kinect does work as well, I've used it before on my Xbox One. I have an Xbox One Kinect (Kinect v2) and recently bought an adapter from Microsoft to use it on my Windows 10 PC.īut I have encountered several issues, even though the adapter seems to work, the light is on so power is running through.
