I had similar problem which was catched by EventLogger that Kinectservice.exe could not start because of lack of MFPlat.DLL. Virtually, the KinectConfigurationVerifier remarks "Verify Kinect Depth and Color Streams" with a exclamation mark.
After a little search of DLL, the problem might be caused by the lack of media package of system.
On Windows N versions (the EU version without Media Player) applications crashes with a system error missing MFReadWrite.dll or MFPlat.DLL. You need the Media Feature Pack for your Windows version:
