Windows 10: Kinect V2 Windows Hello

My Kinect works fine in studio and any other app but does not work for windows hello. The hello setup says 'This option is currently unavailable.'

Using a Microsoft Kinect on a PC as a Webcam; Is \Stream.sys for Kinect Available?

Microsoft has drivers to let the Kinect do this in a different update channel. Here's how to get those drivers from Windows Update.

Opt-in to receive test distribution drivers

1. Open the Windows Registry Editor (regedit.exe).
   
2. Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\
   
3. Create subkeys \DriverFlighting\Partner\
   
4. Under \Partner subkey, create a string named “TargetRing” and key-in “Drivers” as the value.
   

Get the drivers from Device Manager or Windows Update

From Device Manager:

1. Open Device Manager (Windows key + x, then m).
   
2. Expand “Kinect sensor devices”.
   
3. Right-click on "WDF KinectSensor Interface 0".
   
4. Click "Update Driver Software..."
   
5. Click “Search automatically for updated driver software”.
   
6. Allow it to download and install the new driver.
   
7. Reboot.
   

You can now use the Kinect for Xbox One as a webcam and for Windows Hello.
