guide buttons not working

Occasionally my xbox guide will glitch out, making it so when i press A on a tile, it shows the animation as usual, but the app/menu won’t open. Then i have to restart my xbox. Anyone else have this issue?

Guide Button is not working!

I was using an xbox controller using an wireless adapter for some weeks, using windows 10 (update 1) and everything was working perfectly fine. Then I did updated windows, to the second update (that one that makes your PC reboot and stay with a strange update
screen (black with a blue circle) for some minutes) and the guide button on the controller stopped to be recognized by the PC.

Before, that button did worked fine, and when i did pressed it, Steam opened, that status bar that comes with the driver was shown too, but to do that i had to deactivate de DVR on the Xbox App.

On this second update even doind that doens't make that unique button work. Every single button works perfectly fine, but not that one.

 

Guide button and start button not working.

Actually, that's a standard wired Xbox 360 controller. They have a breakaway design. It sounds like you're missing the other end of it.

 

Sorry to hear it. I had that once a while back but a factory reset solved the issue. There is an option to keep installed games and apps so you won't need to worry about redownloading if you choose to give this a try.
