I have running still if someone available in short order to check.

Strange Thing is I can go in and out of the different configuration options. Just stuck with no way out. Like it got stuck in a loop.
Connection to East Coast Server shows 10ms
I can also enter and exit developer mode. Tried pause and resume as well in developer mode. Still stuck in the options area.

Unplugged and replugged all controllers. Nothing
Cycled and pushed every button Nothing
A few minutes after no touch menu appeared on bottom to resume. Now running
