Can't get past "PRESS ANY KEY"...continuous loop

[giorgiokolaj 3]

Hi all. All of a sudden, the "PRESS ANY KEY" intro screen continues to loop. I have updated Windows, down to every single update currently available, even the optional items.  I rebooted the computer numerous times. I've tried pressing keys on the keyboard, as well as pressing the mouse buttons.  Nothing is working.  Anyone out there also experiencing the same?...or (hopefully) have a fix.   I've been enjoying the game since it was released, an this is now happening all of a sudden. I have not installed any new apps on the computer.  Many thanks for taking the tie to read and respond.

Thanks Bert. Just tried double-clicking but it's not working, still.

Have you tried to log off from the XBOX App and login again ? (sim not startet) !

I had this exact same experience just two hours ago. To fix it, I closed the MFS app from the system tray and then re-opened it. This time it worked fine.

Hmmmmmm...think they may be prepping the system for an impending update?

(Glad this issue seemed to resolve with a workaround rather quickly)

Is there anyway to disable the “Press any Key” screen? I find it to be annoying and unnecessary. As far as I know, it will stay on that screen indefinitely and not eventually time out if you aren’t paying attention to it. And being that takes several minutes just to get to the main UI, it just wastes more time. I usually start the sim then come back to it later because of the long load time.

Anyone go an idea?

Let's start to think on what will be gone next week too.

Cheers, Ed
