    Home Screens Won't Select


    My Xbox One's tiles suddenly started being mostly unresponsive on the home screen and setting menus. The tiles pulse when I press A, but nothing happens until I eventually get lucky and it works.

    Also, less importantly, I fought my way to the description of a game I was interested in, and when I try to scroll down the description, it tries to send me to the top consistently.

    This happens with both controllers whether only one is on or if both are, but as I said, the buttons work fine once I get into the game.

    Things I have tried that did not work (in the order I tried them in).

    1. Updated the controllers

    2. Cleared MAC address (network > network settings > advance settings > alt MAC > clear)

    3. Power cycle (where I held the button until it turned off, unplugged it, waited, then plugged it back in and turned it back on)

    4. Cleared persistent storage (settings > disc&bluray > persistent > clear)

    5. Did a soft reset (system > console info&updates > reset > reset and keep games & apps)

    I would love a suggestion for another way to fix this while avoiding a full factory reset. Thanks! Home Screens Won't Select :)

    :)

    Can’t make selections on home screen

    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!

    Dpad skipping selections on Home Screen.

    Hello Blake, I'm an Independent Advisor

    Sorry to hear you're having trouble with your controllers. There could be many reasons why you're having trouble with the controllers ranging from their age (if they've been used frequently) or if there's dirt under the Dpad (you can try lightly wiping the area with a small amount of rubbing alcohol using a qtip).

    However, I have seen a similar issue in the past only once where someone was having their controllers run all the way left or right. In that case it turned out that somehow the frequencies between the two controllers were interfering with each other.

    They needed to remove the batteries from one controller and try using the other to find it worked

    Hi

    ,

    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
