Starfield not launching

Hello Damion,

Thank you for using Microsoft products and posting to the community.

We fully understand the inconvenience the issue has caused and that the current situation can be frustrating. Recently in the Answers forum we have received a lot of feedback from users about this issue, stating that the error code 0x80004005 occurs when launching Starfield, here are the related threads I found that you can refer to.

In one of the threads, a user Stone Hardgod mentioned that disabling Quick Resume can fix this issue, you can refer to it.

However, I have to say that since you only get the problem when running this game, then it is very likely that there is something wrong with the game itself. For this, contacting Starfield support directly for feedback on this issue may be a better option. Below is the contact information I found for Starfield support that you can refer to.

Just chiming in to say I also paid for the digital Premium Edition for Early Access to Starfield and it will not launch. Very frustrating.

Something of note to mention on this thread: whatever run away line of code that's causing Starfield to fill up the Xbox, it affects more than the game itself.

The first time I ever experienced this issue was with Starfield and I've had the Xbox One since launch, and the Series X since launch. Before I did a complete console reset I loaded up Fallout 4 and started getting the same warning. I also loaded up Cyberpunk and got the exact same message again. Two games that I've never had any issue with until Starfield brought it up.

Hi all, just wanted to say that I have Starfield, and thankfully that launched just fine the first time and I have not had issues with that.

However, I just installed Forza Motorsport (twice now) and I get the same crash error as you had with Starfield.

Very very VERY annoying...
