    Error code 0x80073cfe, Unknown error, can't play game


    Just going to post something about this every day until maybe there's a reply. It's kind of depressing that my notoriously terrible cable company can respond faster than Microsoft. Receiving error code 0x80073cfe. Was sent to website to identify, but
    Microsoft somehow doesn't know their own error code. Code is received when attempting to play newly downloaded games and apps. Forza Horizon 3 was bought in online store, Dragon Age Origins was acquired via Xbox Live Gold, and the EA app was a free download.
    None will load, and I receive the aforementioned error code. I've tried multiple launch attempts, restarting the system, disconnecting and reconnecting the controller, unplugging the system for 30 seconds then restarting, uninstalling and reinstalling the
    software. Since I see unanswered posts regarding this code over a year old, I'm hoping enough posts will get some reaction. I have stopped buying product until this is resolved and urge others to do the same.

    :)

    error code 0x80073cfe

    Check your network connection to make sure you are connected then factory restore but keep your game and apps

    Go to network settings > advance settings > alt mac address > clear then restart to make sure you are connected

    Check your Xbox for updates in my games and apps > updates and under settings > system > updates

    If none of these steps work go to settings > system > console info > reset console

    PC Xbox Game Pass Error Code issues

    Thank you for the reply though sadly none of the methods fixed my current issue. I'm still getting both the same error codes as before. Though I get them for different games. One game will give me the
    0x80004005 code while another will give me 0x80073cfe. It's not exactly consistent with what games give which error code.

    Help, I can't install the xbox app and I get error code 0x80073cfe every time I try

    Ran the SFC and got no errors, ran the DISM and rebooted. Opened the xbox app and it says I need to install gaming services, when I click the button to do so it just freezes on installing. When I open Microsoft Store and check the updates I see that the gaming services update failed with the 0x80073CFE error code.

    Disc-based games stuck on the start splash screen

    Sorry - forgot to say the error code. The message box telling me the game had failed to load for unknown reason gave an error code of 0x8027025a
