I can't find anything really related on the web, so I figured I'd ask my C5 family if they have seen this issue.

The problem is that my Kinect unit will suddenly decide to cycle itself on and off at random times, and sometimes it even cycles at a steady intervals. Other times, it just turns itself off. When any of these behaviors begin, I can perform a hard reset (long-press the XB1 icon on the console until it powers down), unplug the power supply, then unplug the Kinect unit. After following the procedure, the Kinect works correctly for a week or so, then repeats the bad behavior.

To be clear, it is only the Kinect unit itself that cycles. When it shuts off (as indicated by the power lights on the Kinect unit), voice commands do not work, and any text prompts that were already on screen while using Kinect before the malfunction disappear at the same time.

It has the feel of a software issue, but I can't prove it. I do not get any messages stating that the unit is unplugged, and that is where my issue seems very different than those others have reported on the internet.

Any ideas? Thanks!
