    Can’t make selections on home screen


    I have 3 profiles on my xbox one, one for me and one for each of my two children. I am constantly having issues on the home screen. When someone is playing and another tries to logon to the game, it will not allow them to select a gamertag. Pushing up
    or down on the controller joystick will not change the current selection on the screen. Im already frustrated at how complicated it is to use this console and how time consuming it is to “update” a game I just purchased before i can even play it. Please help
    me figure what [Mod Removed] is wrong with this console and how to fix it, permanently, before I
    [Mod Removed]!!!

    :)

    Hi
    WiseOleMan
    ,

    Thank you for the update. Try out the following solutions:

    Go ahead and do a
    hard reset and power cycle
    . Hold down the power button on the console for about 10 seconds until it shuts down and then remove the power cable from the Xbox and the power outlet for about 5 minutes. Then re-connect and
    turn on the Xbox.

    If that doesn't help then you will need to try out a
    soft factory reset
    .

    1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
    2. Select System > Settings > System > Console info.
    3. Select Reset console.
    Make sure to select "Keep my games & apps" and have the correct email and passwords for all of the profiles plus your WIFI password ready if you connect wireless because you will need to re-add all of the account's that were on the Xbox and re-connect to
    your network during the reset.

    Let us know the results!

    I'm sorry to hear that you've tried that and still having issues. At this point, you may need to send in your console for repair, which is in-warranty if it is only 5 months old. I recommend further troubleshooting with Xbox customer support to talk over
    what other options you may have available or help with the console repair order. You can also get more assistance with console repairs by reading this support guide: "Getting
    your product serviced
    ".

    When it comes to game updates, that is up to game developers.

    Microsoft doesn't control if a game will have one, or big they will be.

    If you don't want to update games before playing them, then choose update later. Keep in mind that if you do this then you'll have to play offline until the game is updated.

    Thats the problem, I cannot select any other profile. It does not let me change what the selection is, which is typically add a guest. In that instance, you have to press it like 4 times before it will even do that

    Sorry you've been having issues I've had the same happen to me!

    1. Press the center "Xbox Button" on the second controller.
    2. Select the second player profile or add guest
    3. The screen should spilt when its done.
    4. If this doesn't work make sure the game supports spilt screen / has multi-player.
    5. When I had this issue it was weirdly glitched where the first player had to hit start for the second player to select anything.
    6. I hope this helps and you have a great day!
