Hi, Until recently I had no issues in using Kinect v2 on my Surface Book computer. Suddenly, after last week Windows and Surface Book firmware updates Kinect is not recognized anymore. My configuration: Surface Book, i5/256 Kinect connected on the USB3 port of Surface Book Powered either directly or via docking station Kinect service set to use Nvidia card Once I connect the USB cable the following happens: Kinect led (from the Kinect adapter) is either orange (as no connection) or flashing white After a few seconds, I get the following message popping up on the screen (message in the bottom right of the screen): "USB Device is not recognized...", followed up by the typical and infinitely repeating USB out sound In Device Manager I can see under the Universal Serial Bus controllers: Unknown USB Device (Set Address Failed) When I installed it first time the device was visible in the Devices, device Manager, etc. But was not starting the Kinect. After restart device was just not recognized. What did I try? from removing devices, disable, etc... to reinstalling completely my Surface Book (yes... a few hours of work) tested Kinect on a desktop PC - works OK tested on a Surface3 even there works ok (I don't think that Surface3 has a USB 3 port... but, it works!) used Kinect verifier, which as always is listing that USB device is unknown (but this is not new since I had it in the past too) Any idea? I believe it has to do with latest Windows 10 updates, drivers and latest Surface Book update too. Thank you! Kind regards, Gia ***Post moved by the moderator to the appropriate forum category.***

I also just downloaded again, and Windows confirmed that I already have it installed (file is also the same). So i have the latest windows 10 updates and firmware for surface book pro and the Kinect V2 is still not showing up. It worked fine like 2 or 3 months ago with the microsoft 3d scan software.

Hi Erwin, After reinstalling my surface book indeed I used the new installer for the Surface Book drivers (same link as you provided). I just downloaded again, and Windows confirmed that I already have it installed (file is also the same). Thank you for your support! Kind regards, Gia

Hi,

Until recently I had no issues in using Kinect v2 on my Surface Book computer. Suddenly, after last week Windows and Surface Book firmware updates Kinect is not recognized anymore.

My configuration: Surface Book, i5/256

Kinect connected on the USB3 port of Surface Book

Powered either directly or via docking station

Kinect service set to use Nvidia card

Once I connect the USB cable the following happens:

Kinect led (from the Kinect adapter) is either orange (as no connection) or flashing white
After a few seconds, I get the following message popping up on the screen (message in the bottom right of the screen): "USB Device is not recognized...", followed up by the typical and infinitely repeating USB out sound
In Device Manager I can see under the Universal Serial Bus controllers: Unknown USB Device (Set Address Failed)
When I installed it first time the device was visible in the Devices, device Manager, etc. But was not starting the Kinect. After restart device was just not recognized.

What did I try?

from removing devices, disable, etc...
to reinstalling completely my Surface Book (yes... a few hours of work)
tested Kinect on a desktop PC - works OK
tested on a Surface3 even there works ok (I don't think that Surface3 has a USB 3 port... but, it works!)
used Kinect verifier, which as always is listing that USB device is unknown (but this is not new since I had it in the past too)

Any idea? I believe it has to do with latest Windows 10 updates, drivers and latest Surface Book update too. Thank you!

Kind regards,

Gia
