    Press "A" to start - sometimes doesn't work until restarting Xbox


    I was just curious if anyone else has run into this. I'm on Xbox Series X and alpha skip ahead. I'm not exactly sure what leads to this state, but every once in a while when I start up a game (this has happened in both Fortnite and Outriders), I get to the main menu screen where it says something along the lines of "Press A to continue". When I get here, it just doesn't register the button press at all.

    I quit out of the game and go back in, same thing. Only once I restart my Xbox can I get past that prompt.

    Has anyone else run into this? Again, I'm not sure exactly what steps lead to the behavior - whether it's a combination of Quick Resume on games that time out you - or something else.

    I should work OK, but with both plugged in the HDMI auto switch over sometimes doesn't work. Try pressing the AV button on your TV until it shows the correct input for xbox. (Xbox will probably re-boot)

    RISK Factions Not Working!!

    I'm having the same problem. Sometimes it gets to the "Press Start", sometimes it even freezes before that. The picture of the general that appears at the top of the start screen, sometimes shows up, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes its opaque. I guess,
    it all depends on where the game freezes (whether before or during the animation).

    Once the game froze, there is nothing you can do but restart the 360. Pressing buttons on the controller doesn't do anything.

    It looks as if it's the same problem as with Kinect Fun Labs, which keeps freezing on me in a similar fashion.

    Far cry primal, wont load after pressing a to start xbox1s. Need help, thanks

    I am glad that it's working now. Did you mean that the restart option on your console doesn't work until now when you press it?

    Hi,

    after you have started the game, press the Xbox button and open the network setting and go offline.

    If that doesn't work go on the game rile and press the Start button. Open 'Manage game and add ons' and delete the saved data.

    Go online again and restart the console.

    Help! My xbox one control does not work correctly

    Hello,

    Try this:

    Go to the Xbox Accessories app and click on the beaker to enter test mode. Then, click the button that doesn't work. If it shows that you pressed that button it should work. If that doesn't work, try updating the controller or hard restarting the console.
    Do that by holding down the xbox button for a few second until the light fully shuts off. Then after you restart the console, try using the controller. If these don't work, you may need to replace or buy a new controller.

    Hope this works.
