Same here....I've had this problem for over 2 months. I'm glad I bought a PS4. Problems like this should be fixed for free. We shouldn't HAVE TO send it to Microsoft, for over $70, for them to repair w/out the risk of being banned from Xbox Live for tampering.

Started with the easiest step first (restarted by Xbox) and that did the trick. I was about to pull my hair out for nothing! Thanks for the help 😊
P.S. To the people who comment with terrible use of English, thanks for helping me laugh off my frustration. I salute you

I turned off my internet box and restarted the system before it would stop giving me the error. I did clear the cache just to be on the save side.
Thank you.
