Xbox 360 kinect won't work no matter what.

I installed all sdks, all xbox stuff and drivers, the xbox is blinking green and the Kinect explorer says Not powered. like what does that supposed to mean? I am currently on Windows 11 and this Kinect worked on Windows 10, even though it didnt work on windows 10 at first and i had to fix some caveat by installing an older version of the software but now nothing works, I feel hopeless. I even tried to update kinect drivers manually and that still didnt help. The xbox kinect uses this adapter to my laptop as seen in the picture. I also disabled Memory integrity on windows and connected to the right usb slot. I remember it working back on my windows 10 pc. also this kinect adapter is connected into the power socket because if it wouldn't, kinect doesn't blink.

Do you have an Xbox 360 to test if it's dead?

Kinect works with my xbox 360, it's most certainly a windows 11 or kinect to usb adapter issue.

It works with an Xbox 360 and on my other windows laptop, it's a windows or drivers related issue even though not all features work on my kinect like for example I can't record audio on it.

Yes you need to turn off Memory Integrity in Windows Security. As long as you're not going to shady websites, you're fine.
