I know a Microsoft Kinect is many things in a slick package with two units being *a color webcam on a microphone array**.
The USB 3 bandwidth is there, but I can only ever get my Kinect to function as a webcam when I sign in using the fantastic Windows Hello (I hate passwords).
Example webcam failure: My dog doesn't seem to grow change in appearance, so let's go with something new, like old mug.]1
It tries to be helpful by instructing the use to make sure their audio or video device as listed inDevice Manager has got a someone on that like named Stream.sys.
I must be missing it, don't know which version I'd need, an don't trust bein about to locate it from a safe place (one that signs it with Microsoft Corporation). Maybe I should try copying KinectSensor.sys
to System.
but I'm guessing there are quite a few sensors handled by driver.
Kinect Sensor drivers (WDF INTERFACE 0)
The drivers for my Knicked which appear in Audio inputs andouts an under Sound, video and game controllers
