Since this issue is often caused by stopped Xbox services, try restarting your computer before proceeding with the solutions. Restarting your PC can resolve bugs and restart essential services that may have stopped, causing this issue.
1. Restart Xbox Services
If restarting the computer doesn’t resolve the issue, you’ll need to manually check the Services window to ensure that the necessary services are running. This step is crucial to confirm that the Xbox services are not the source of the problem and that the issue lies elsewhere.
2. Remove and Add the Microsoft Account
The error may be caused by issues with the Microsoft account login credentials. Removing and re-adding the Microsoft account ensures it is re-authenticated and establishes a fresh connection with Xbox Live services, resolving the error message.
3. Reinstall the Gaming Services
The Gaming Services is an essential Windows application required for the Xbox app and related gaming services to function properly. If the Gaming Services app is corrupted or outdated, it can cause issues with the Xbox app. Reinstalling Gaming Services ensures the Xbox app functions correctly and connects seamlessly to Xbox Live servers, resolving login issues.
4. Repair/Reset Xbox App
Repairing or resetting the Xbox app can restore its functionality and clear out any temporary data that might be corrupted or outdated, preventing the Xbox application from functioning correctly.
5. Reinstall the Xbox App
Reinstalling the Xbox app may be the best option if the previous methods do not resolve the issue. This action repairs any corrupted data within the Xbox app that might be causing the error. If the issue persists after reinstalling the app, you can perform an in-place upgrade. This will reinstall the operating system without affecting your apps or data. However, creating a backup before performing an in-place upgrade is strongly recommended.
