Turn off home button guide

Hey, Thebrianbryan!

We’re taking the most popular multitasking experiences gamers are using today and building them directly into the Guide on a new start page. The updated guide is instantly accessible when you press the Xbox button on a controller. From here you can get to
the home page on the dashboard, your games and apps, store, most recently run experiences and Pins. This is also where you will get to and manage your key multi-tasking scenarios.

At this time, there are no plans to implement a feature to turn this off and revert back to the old Home button. If you would like your voice heard, please check out our
Feedback site. There you can check to see if others have posted a suggestion similar to this and give it a vote. You can also post up your own suggestion, if you don't see this one after a search.

If you need assistance with any support issues, be sure to post up a new detailed thread so that our community can work on helping out. Thanks for understanding!

What I do is I turn on the Xbox by pressing the Guide button, then when I finish press the Guide button again. It then gives me 2 options, turn off the controller or turn off the console. I go for turn off the console. Then I unplug it. Then 2 weeks will
go pass, then I'd turn it on again using the Guide button, then after about an hour maybe 2 the controller will run out of charge.

You mean from the what do you want to do screen or pressing and holding the guide button 6 seconds till it turns off? Because there's that way of turning off the controller by pressing and holding the guide button 6 seconds till it turns off i believe
that was for the pc because the pc doesn't have the what do you want to do screen options where it says turn off the controller turn off console or restart console so the only option to turn off the controller on pc is pressing and holding guild guide button
6 seconds till it turns off

There shouldn't be a setting on the child's account that may block this. Simply perform a powercycle on your console and then cross-validate if it's still set as Home Xbox.
