Minecraft switch wont let me play

Hi. I wanted to play minecraft with my dad. I usually play on my notebook and he uses my switch. 

Today, i started the switch and first it could not load the world. I restarted the game and it did not connect with my microsoft account. However, when i restarted the entire console (TWICE!!!) i did not even get the screen where i can choose wheather i want to play or go into the marketplace. I tried that a total of 6x. 

30 minutes of a great evening wasted. Went playing cards instead, because there are no loading issues.
