Error 0x80070008 installation stopped

Hi Cryzt4lzz, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you with your concern.

Do you have an external hard drive plugged into your console? If yes, please unplug the hard drive and then perform a power cycle before attempting to install a game again, keep the hard drive unplugged.

"1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off. ​​​

2. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller. ​​​"

If you don't have an external hard drive we may need to reset the console keeping your games and apps. Don't worry because as long as you're connected to Xbox Live your saved progress, games, will not be deleted. It will remove all of your accounts but you can add all of them later on.

Hello UnarmingPit060, this error could be related with with a few things, such as connectivity to Live servers, or even database files that were not installed correctly.

If this error only happens with Minecraft, try uninstalling the game from the console, then reset keeping games and Apps, and install the game again on the console.

When installing the game make sure you have a stable connection in the console, preferably cable-connected, and let the download reach 100% of the installation, do not start the game before you finish the installation.

Press the Xbox button to open the panel.

Select system > system > console > system

Select Reset console.

Restore and maintain my games and apps.

Rest assured, you won't miss games or saves

Note - You need to know the email and passwords of your accounts when performing this reset.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Please restart your console by pressing and holding the Xbox button on your console for 10 seconds until it shuts down.

Unplug the power cable for 30 seconds, then reconnect it and turn the console back on.

And then clear your local saved games. Go to Settings > System > Storage > Clear Local Saved Games.

This will clear the cache on your console without affecting your cloud saves.

Next is to make sure that your Xbox Series S is connected to a stable internet connection. To do this, go to Settings > Network > Network Settings and test your connection.

Then check for system updates. Go to Settings > System > Updates & Downloads and check for updates.

Kindly remove and re-add your Xbox profile by going to Settings > Account > Remove Accounts and remove your profile.

Restart the console, then re-add your profile.
