Xbox Error Code Fixer: Free Console and Best PC Game Pass Fix Commands (18 Codes)
The Xbox error code fixer explains an Xbox or PC Game Pass error and gives the fix for the device you are on: menu steps for an Xbox console, or PowerShell commands for the Xbox app on Windows.
The same code can need a different fix on a console and on a PC. On a console, most errors clear with a power cycle or a reinstall. On Windows, most Game Pass errors come from one component called Gaming Services, and reinstalling it with two commands fixes them. Pick your platform and code below.

PC Game Pass: Reinstall Gaming Services
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers | Removes Gaming Services for every user |
| start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN | Opens the Gaming Services page in the Microsoft Store so you can install it again |
| wsreset.exe | Clears the Microsoft Store cache |
| Get-AppxPackage *GamingApp* | Reset-AppxPackage | Resets the Xbox app without removing your games |
| Remove-Item …\LocalCache\* -Recurse -Force | Deletes the Xbox app local cache |
Right-click Start, choose Terminal (Admin) or Windows PowerShell (Admin), paste the first two lines, install Gaming Services from the Store page, and restart. This fixes 0x8007042b, 0x80073d26, 0x00000001 and a Game Pass download stuck at 100 percent.
Console: 0x87e00005, 0x80070570 and 0x8027025a
- 0x87e00005: the game cannot start or finish installing. Power cycle, cancel the install and reinstall.
- 0x80070570: a file is corrupted. Delete the game and download it again, on internal storage.
- 0x8027025a: the app took too long to start. Check Xbox status, power cycle and relaunch.
- 0x803f8001: the console cannot confirm you own the game. Sign in as the buyer or insert the disc.
- Use the Xbox error code fixer for the full list for your code.
A power cycle is not the same as sleep. Hold the Xbox button on the front of the console for ten seconds until it shuts down, unplug it for 30 seconds, then start it again. That clears the system cache.

About Xbox
Xbox is Microsoft's gaming platform, covering Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, and PC Game Pass through the Xbox app on Windows. Console and PC share accounts and many error codes, but not the fixes.
On Windows, the Xbox app relies on Gaming Services and the Microsoft Store to install and license games, so most PC errors trace back to one of those two.
The Xbox error code fixer on this page is free to use, and we update it when the game changes its numbers.
