    Controller brings up xbox dashboard when i press A


    Tried searching for an answer but couldn't find anything. I just got the Elite Series 2 and connected it to Bluetooth on my PC. Every time I press the A button, it brings up the dashboard menu, which is extremely frustrating when trying to play a platformer.
    Help my save my sanity please

    :)

    Xbox 360 Achievements on the Xbox One

    Yes you can still unlock them. To see them bring up the 360 dashboard press start and back at the same time on the xbox one controller. BTW viva piñata wasn't to bad lol

    Friends tab on Xbox one homescreen

    Just do a dashboard refresh. That usually brings it back.

    (Hold both triggers and press 'Y' when on the dashboard)

    Dashboard Broken, Wont Refresh

    Can you try to refresh the dashboard by following the directions below:

    On the Dashboard, press the Guide button, hold RT, then press Y. It should force the dashboard to refresh.

    Does that bring up any new content?

    For those with the universal media remote

    Yes, my media remote does bring up the option to turn off the console when the Power On/Home (big Xbox symbol) button is pressed and held.

    And just to rule it out as a factor, I am not participating in the dashboard preview program.

    Xbox one x black screen

    I get a completely black screen sometimes on my Xbox One, sometimes while in the Store or browsing my community feed, or even in the middle of a game. Just curious, does anything happen if you press the Home button? I will have a black screen with nothing
    at all on it, but in my case, if I press the Home button on my controller, the left side-bar menu will still pop up and I can see that. From there, I'll press Home and it's like the whole Xbox will refresh and the dashboard will load back up again. It's strange
    but it does happen to me and I can do that and it will bring the dashboard back. The only bad thing is that if I'm in the middle of a game, I'll lose that and have to start the game over as if I've just quit out of it. Not sure if it's the same issue you're
    having, but just thought I would check if anything happens if you press the Home button on your controller when this happens?
