Console gamers can also power cycle their device and see if that helps. To manually power cycle your Xbox console, do the following:

- Unplug your Xbox from the mains.
- Wait at least 30-60 seconds.
- Once the time elapses, plug your Xbox back into the power outlet.
- Now, press the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller to turn your console back on.
In addition, make sure your router or modem firmware is updated (refer to the product manual). Likewise, make sure your Windows PC is updated or your console as the case may be.
2] Check Network and Internet connection
If you’re having Xbox Live networking issues, you’re likely to encounter this issue. So, if the Xbox Live status is all green for all services, but the error in view persists, it’s likely the problem is at your own end. In this case, you can fix Network and Internet connection problems on your gaming device to resolve any connectivity issues. You can also try the Network Reset feature if your computer cannot connect to the Internet at all.
3] Check NAT type
This applies to Xbox console gamers only.
Your NAT type is determined by the settings or features of the router on the network you are using to connect to the Internet. The Xbox console has the following NAT types:
- Open
- Moderate
- Strict
If your NAT type is Open, your console is connected properly – in this mode, a quick reboot will resolve any issues due to a temporary glitch with your connection. On the other hand, if your NAT Type is Moderate or Strict, this generally indicates that there is some sort of restriction or blockage that is preventing your console from communicating properly.
This solution requires you to check your NAT type and make sure it’s set to Open – to do this, follow the instructions in the guide on how to fix Your network settings are blocking Party Chat [0x89231806] error.
4] Flush DNS
If the DNS settings are corrupted, it can prevent certain applications from making contact with the internet. In this case, you can flush the DNS.
5] Clear Cache
You may encounter this issue if the cached data on your gaming device gets corrupted. Temporary files and data are often stored on your gaming device to help improve gameplay. In the course of time, this cached data might become corrupted, which can lead to issues with connectivity, game freezes, or slow or unsuccessful game loads.
PC gamers can clear cache, run Disk Cleanup and clear Temp folder on their Windows 11/10 system. Also, clear the Microsoft Store cache and see if that helps.
Console gamers can clear the cache on Xbox by following these instructions:
- Press the Xbox button on your controller.
- Go to your Settings menu.
- Select Devices and Connections.
- Select the Blu-Ray option.
- Choose the Persistent Storage option.
- Select Clear.
If clearing the cache on your gaming device didn’t work for you, proceed with the next solution.
6] Check the drive in use
This applies to both the console and PC.
Check the drive in use if you’re downloading a game or app update on the gaming device. This means you need to make sure if it’s the internal drive or external that the game or app being updated is installed.
- PC gamers can choose the drive to download content to on your device by following the instructions in the guide on how to fix Error Code 0x80242022.

Sign in to the Xbox app or the Microsoft Store, whichever one you’re using. Also, ensure that the device is online during the game installation/update or when you launch the game.
8] Uninstall and reinstall game/app
You can uninstall the game/app in question (preferably, use a third-party software uninstaller), and then reinstall the item and see if that helps. You can repair or reset the app first and if that didn’t help, you can proceed with uninstall/reinstall.
9] Reset Gaming device
This solution requires you to reset your gaming device and see if the issue is resolved.
