    App switching error


    Almost every single time I switch from one app/ game to another, including the home screen, I get one an error screen that says "give it another try if you keep seeing this turn off your Xbox by pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds. Then
    turn it back on and try your action again. (0x80040200)"

    No matter how many times I turn it off and on this is still happening and it eventually freezes and doesn't let me do anything. Seems like it has been happening more frequently since the last major update.

    :)

    Netflix Keeps Crashing

    It has been crashing for me when it is switching episodes. The only message I am getting is that an error was encountered and the app must close.

    App switching error

    Hey there, Rhyme!

    I'm sorry to see any issues with switching apps! Checking into that error here on our end, it looks like that might be related to a bad installation. I think your console might do well with a

    factory reset     where you keep your games and apps. Give that a shot. If it doesn't work, then I suggest doing a full factory reset.

    If you have all of the stuff you're trying to use on an external hard drive, then I suggest moving them to the internal drive to test out if they are still giving that error. It could be that the external hard drive is causing some issues if this is the
    case. You'll have to reformat your external hard drive to see if that helps.

    These should get you sorted out. Let me know how it goes! I can get you pointed in the right direction if needed. App switching error :)

    Minecraft Switch Login Loop

    Have you tried resetting the switch then also relaunching the app as well? It is entirely a possibility of an app error on the switches end (even though the switch isn't Microsoft and may be something you may have to get ahold of Nintendo for)

    I had the same problem. It worked after I started MSFS with XBOX app and when I got the error switched back to XBOX app, logged out, not closed, and switched back to MSFS and tried again.
