Hi, this is my first question in this forum and I would clarify a question, ever when I run my start menu scene in Unity, the same display this message:

ArgumentException: Input Button Submit is not setup.
 To change the input settings use: Edit -> Project Settings -> Input
UnityEngine.EventSystems.StandaloneInputModule.ShouldActivateModule () (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Extensions/guisystem/UnityEngine.UI/EventSystem/InputModules/StandaloneInputModule.cs:137)
UnityEngine.EventSystems.EventSystem.Update () (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Extensions/guisystem/UnityEngine.UI/EventSystem/EventSystem.cs:250)

Somebody know to tell me why happen it

I was needed to install the new version of the user input. I was using unity editor 2021.3.11f1. The solution ? Window > paquagemanager > in paquage registry there is input system and it work for me to install it. (Version 1.4.4 - November 03, 2022)

This happened to me when I removed everything from the project settings - input. (because I want to use a different input method)

I solved it by adding Submit, Cancel, Horizontal and Vertical to the input settings.

Thank you for you answer, was really the miss of the inputs Submit and Cancel that made this exception.

Does anyone know why this problem is happening to begin with? Why is Unity checking for those axes? If the game isn't using them, how is Unity using them? Do they actually do anything?

Go to input settings use: Edit → Project Settings → Input
There is a little cog wheel in the corner which will reset the input settings.
After i pressed it the error went away.

Resetting the InputManager also means losing everything you've set up, so it might be best to just add the missing controls manually.

after reset Delete canvas and try again buttons it will work

This helped me thank you!

If you don’t use Submit, Cancel etc., you can add an empty entry into InputManager and your error will be fixed.

Best practice is not to put links to answers as they (like this one) sometimes die. Include the gist of the referenced material.
