  • Highlight the app or game and press the Menu button.

Restart the Xbox Console

Players can also try restarting their Xbox console.

  • Press and hold the Xbox button on the controller
  • Select “Restart Console” from the Power Menu

Check Xbox Internet Settings

Other things players should check is their internet connection. The error can pop up if the connection is unstable.

  • Go to Settings then Networks then Network Settings by pressing the Xbox button.
  • Select “Set up wireless network and connect to the internet
  • Try reinstalling the app or game then check to see if the error code persists.

Players should also make sure that there are no updates that need to be downloaded. It is also good to see if the server status on the Xbox Live website is stable. If servers are down, all that can be done is wait until the servers are up and running again.
