Kinect v1 gets disabled post-build? [Unity 2020 - HDRP & Kinect v1 MS-SDK]

Hello

Does anyone know if there is a conflict between the Kinect v1 MS-SDK asset and the Unity HDRP?

The scenes in the play mode are working fine but after build (including build and run) the kinect is not working. I can control using the keyboard still, no visual issues but only the kinect is not tracking.

I imported the same scene into a new URP project and it is working fine after build

System arch is set correct and the kinect library directory is correct and unchanged (refencing a previous post on a similar issue)
