Cannot log into profile on the console, error code 0x80070057 comes up

You're a legend! The delete and reinstall profile worked a treat, seems quite a simple thing to do when I think about it.

Thank you

Hi there Alfie O.

I am Lumie and I would love to assist you today.

I am so sorry you are having issues logging into your profile.

The error code 0x80070057 typically signifies that there is a parameter issue, often related to incorrect or corrupted data in your system files. When this error prevents you from logging into your profile on a console, such as an Xbox or Windows-based system, there are several potential solutions you can try. Here is a guide to troubleshooting and resolving the issue:

For Xbox Console
Restart the Console:

Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve temporary issues. Press and hold the Xbox button on your controller until the Power Center opens. Select "Restart console" and choose "Restart".

Check Network Connection:

Ensure your console is connected to the internet. Go to Settings > Network > Network settings and test your network connection. Sometimes, network issues can prevent login.

Clear Persistent Storage:

Go to Settings > Devices & streaming > Blu-ray > Persistent storage and select "Clear persistent storage" to remove any temporary data that might be causing the error.
Remove and Re-add Profile:

Go to Settings > Account > Remove accounts. Select the account you’re having trouble with and remove it. Restart the console, then go back to the same menu and re-add your account by selecting "Add new".

System Update:

Make sure your console is up to date. Go to Settings > System > Updates and check for updates. An outdated system can cause compatibility issues.

Perform a Power Cycle:

Turn off your console by holding the power button for 10 seconds. Unplug it for at least 30 seconds, then plug it back in and turn it on. This clears any temporary files that could be causing the issue.

Factory Reset (Last Resort):

If none of the above steps work, consider a factory reset. Go to Settings > System > Console info > Reset console. Choose "Reset and keep my games & apps" to reset the system while retaining your data. Only choose "Reset and remove everything" if absolutely necessary.

For Windows-based Systems
Restart Your Computer:

A simple restart can often resolve temporary glitches. Click Start > Power > Restart.

Check Disk for Errors:

Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run chkdsk /f to check and fix disk errors. You might be prompted to schedule this task for the next restart.

Run SFC and DISM:

Run the System File Checker tool by typing sfc /scannow in Command Prompt. If issues are found, they will be fixed automatically. Additionally, run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to repair the Windows image.

Update Windows:

Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for updates. Install any available updates and restart your computer.

Delete and Recreate User Profile:

If the error persists, you might need to recreate the user profile. Press Win + R, type sysdm.cpl, and press Enter. Go to the Advanced tab, then click Settings under User Profiles. Select the profile with issues and delete it (make sure to back up any important data first). Restart the computer and recreate the profile.

Modify Registry Settings:

If you are comfortable working with the Windows Registry, press Win + R, type regedit, and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System. Look for a value named FilterAdministratorToken and set it to 1. Create a new DWORD value named ValidateAdminCodeSignatures and set it to 0.

Use Safe Mode:

Boot into Safe Mode by holding Shift and restarting your computer. Choose Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings > Restart, and then select Safe Mode. Try logging into your profile in Safe Mode to see if the issue persists.

System Restore:

Use System Restore to revert your system to a previous state where it was functioning properly. Go to Control Panel > Recovery > Open System Restore, and select a restore point.

I hope this helps.

I shall be here for your response. -Lumie

Ok, here's a bunch of error codes for your enjoyment:

-> Turn the console one, back out of logging in, get "Some XBox Live Content is Temporarily Unavaialble, Status Code: 8007xee2" or the same error but a different status code: 8007274c.

-> Reboot, try to log into a profile, it asks for name and password (it correctly shows up an error if the password doesnt match), then spins forever before responding "Sorry there was a problem, 80072741".

-> Reboot, escape, go to YouTube app, start, then try to log into a profile when it asks you to, "You console cannot connect to XBox Live", 80151904.

-> Reboot, try downloading profiles, keep trying from various places, repeating the same operation: I get the same message, "Sorry XBox Live Profile can't be downloaded right now", but three different error code (seemingly for no particular reason).
Different error code seem come up at various stages of the process. They are 800704CD, 80072751 (usually comes up after I enter an email name), 80072741 (sometimes, it lets me get the password view and then throws this error).

I also forgot to mention I get this error code: 0x80070057
