    Home Button Doesn't Leave Games


    For the past few weeks when playing a game, pressing the Home button does not leave the game and return to the Home menu. It does nothing. If I double tap it, it brings up the option to Snap, and if I hold the button it gives me the option to turn off the
    controller, console, or report a problem. But if I click on report a problem, it does nothing. The only way to exit a game is to power cycle my console.

    :)

  2. Xbox home button not working

    The home button isn't working, it's able to turn on the xbox, and the controller turns on when I hold it, but that's it. Whenever I'm in a game or an app, the home button doesn't work, it won't go home or open game/party invites. When I double hit it to
    record something, or take a screenshot, it does nothing as well. And when I hold it to try and turn off the console it doesn't do anything at all, I've tried using a 2nd controller and still the home button doesn't work. Any ideas on how to help me fix this???

    Xbox One Home Button Light Not Working

    I just installed a new Xbox One and while the controller works fine, the home button light doesn't. We tried installing different batteries but it doesn't seem to light up the home button.

    flaw7420,

    It seems like a few folks have had this issue and I haven't found a solution yet. As a workaround, can you use voice commands instead like "Xbox, show my stuff"? I'm just curious if the voice commands fail to take you to the dashboard as well. I know some
    folks have recommended power cycling but haven't had any success with this. Alternatively, you could always request a repair/purchase a new controller but obviously that is not an ideal solution.

    Issue with the a button not responding normally while on homepage.

    It could be because of leaving a game running in the background. Sometimes when hitting the home button while a game is active responses on the home screen could take a bit longer.

    Disc read error, virus, infected profile

    Try installing the Game Disc to the HDD.



    -Highlight the game's tile on the Home screen.

    -Press the 'X' button to access the Game's Details page.

    -Select Install / Install Disc to Harddrive

    -If it doesn't show up, just wait a little bit.

    -Once it's done (a fairly long process), leave the disc in the tray and start the game!



    See if that helps with the error you're getting! =)

    Xbox one to complicated....

    The design except the guide button is so clunky on the 360. Everything I need is on home or slightly left. All without leaving a game to get to it.

    Restart a game when it get stuck On XBox One?

    You don't have to launch another app or game. Just press the Xbox button to go home or say "Xbox go home", highlight the game in the main window, press the Menu button, select "Quit", and then relaunch the game. If that doesn't work, the restart as Rod
    mentions above.
