A button on xbox one controller

Hello Errant,

Thank you for posting here on the Xbox forums. Usually, you are able to press any button on those screens to continue to the game. The start button is called the "menu" button on our Xbox controllers. You can find a diagram of the controller here :

The start (menu) button is in the middle of your controller. It is a small button with 3 horizontal lines.

Hope this helps!

Hello AnthonyEhiri

Turn on your Xbox One.

Insert either AA batteries or rechargeable batteries from the Xbox One Play & Charge Kit into the controller. See Using AA batteries in your Xbox One Wireless Controller.

Note The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 and Xbox Adaptive Controller have built-in batteries and include a USB-C cable for charging.

Turn on your controller by pressing and holding the Xbox button . The Xbox button  will flash. When the button stays lit, the controller is connected.

Note If the controller doesn't turn on, check the batteries. If you're using rechargeable batteries, make sure they're charged.

Press and release the bind button on the Xbox.

On the original Xbox One, the bind button is a circular button on the side, around the corner from the disc tray.

Within 20 seconds, press and hold the controller’s bind button (a circular button on top of the controller as you hold it in your hands) until the controller's Xbox button  flashes a few times. That means it's searching for a console. The Xbox button 
stays lit once it's connected.

Repeat this for every additional controller you may have. You can connect up to eight wireless controllers to a console.

1. Turn on your Xbox One console.

2. Insert AA batteries (or rechargeable batteries from the Xbox One Play & Charge Kit) into the controller. See Using AA batteries in your Xbox One Wireless Controller.

3. Turn on your controller by pressing and holding the Xbox button until the controller turns on. (The Xbox button is the larger circular button located in the middle of the controller near the top.) The Xbox button will flash, indicating it's not yet connected
to a console. If the Xbox button is lit solid, the controller is already connected.

(Note If the controller doesn't turn on, check the batteries. If you're using rechargeable batteries, make sure that they're charged.)

4. Press and release the connect button on the console. (The connect button is a small circular button located around the corner from the disc tray.)

5. Within 20 seconds, press and hold the black connect button on the back of the controller until the controller's Xbox button quickly flashes a few times, indicating that it's searching for the console. It switches to a solid light when it's connected.
(The connect button is a small circular button located on the top of the controller as you hold it in your hands.)

Your controller is now connected to your console. Repeat this procedure for every extra controller that you want to add.
