Kinect v2 does not work with Surface Book with latest Windows 10 version1607

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

    Hello,

    I have the same problem.

    My configuration:

    • Surface Book with Performance Base, Core i7 / 512GB SSD / 16G RAM
    • Xbox One Kinect Sensor connected on the USB3 port of Surface Book
    • Kinect Adapter
    • Windows 10 Pro version 1703

    The information on this link, didn't work for me.

    Are there any other ideas?

    Thank you in advance.
