### Boot looping
71+
There are two primary causes of boot looping for an Xbox One Kinect: either Windows Audio Enhancements or insufficient USB bandwidth.

For the first one, go into Windows Settings, then System > Sound > More Sound Settings > Recording (top bar) > Microphone Array "Xbox NUI Sensor" > Properties > Advanced (top bar) > **uncheck "Enable audio enhancements**.

*The Kinect uses multiple microphones to have a rough idea of where you are. This option can screw up the Kinect drivers.*
76+

For the second one, **changing USB port where the Kinect is plugged in and unplugging everything else** may solve the issue. Make sure you've plugged the Kinect adapter in a USB 3.0 port.

### Foot rotation

The default rotation mode for Xbox One Kinect allows you to turn your feet freely. The problem is that **in 99% of cases, your floor, and everything near it are invisible to the Kinect.**
