Player 2 unable to join split screen

★ Novice

My kids have been playing split screen for years. However, now when the split screen menu comes up, telling Player 2 to Press Menu Button, the second player is unable to join. It lets them log in to the Xbox, but the split screen "Press Menu Button" screen never goes away. The second player name does not appear.

@ZingyStarfish8 Hi, do you still encounter this? 

If so, can you try shutting down the system by holding the front button until it beeps and shuts down. Then you can try logging back into the system with both accounts and try again. 

Thanks.
