Xbox One: 12 Cool Tips, Tricks & Secrets You Must Try

4. Get Used To The New Menu Button

In a weird move on Microsoft's part, the former Home button's functionality has now essentially transferred across to where the Start button was - now called 'Menu'. Pretty much everything you previously associated with the 360's orb-like button is on this newer one, making for a heap of apps appearing to have hardly any functionality until you tap this and bring up a host of options. Think of it essentially as the console equivalent of a right-click or two-fingered tap - the Internet Explorer app in particular feels pretty weak until you realise you can manage tabs and page history by going through this menu first. Give it a shot in any app and see what options pop up - this switch of what was a button's designated function is one of the most off-putting things about the Xbox One to those who haven't gotten to grips with how it really works - and it's time they realised how.
