The big list of fixes for Error 01600 & Error 002000

These errors are problematic because they come, sometimes resolve themselves, and come back usually after a Windows Update is pushed out to the public. There are multiple causes for these two errors but the heart of it is that your PC/Tablet can't connect
to the Xbox network for whatever reason.

These are all the steps we know to try which resolve most of the issues. I will keep updating this as I find more.

Restart Your PC/Tablet



Did you know that shutting down your PC/Tablet WILL NOT give you a clean boot? Most people don't, so no worries. The ONLY way you can get a clean reboot is to choose restart from the shut down menu. Physically turning your PC/Tablet off will
not do it, choosing "shut down" will not do it, choosing "sleep" will not do it.

Steps:

1. Go to your Shut Down menu (you can get it to it by pressing the Windows key, type Restart, click on Turn off Your PC, go to the bottom of the Settings window that will appear & press the Power button)
   
2. Select "Restart" from the menu

Make Sure Xbox Isn't Down



Sometimes the Xbox network goes down. To check this, go to http://www.xbox.com and log in with your account. Click on Support.

On the Support Page, you will see a link near the top that says "Xbox Service is Up" or "Xbox Service is Limited" or "Xbox Service is Down" If service is limited or down, you may not be able to log into your game until the service is fixed.

You can also go to Xbox Live Service Status | Xbox Live Service Outage



Make Sure Your Firewall/Anti-Virus Isn't Blocking The Apps

Unfortunately this step varies by whatever anti-virus or firewall you use. You will need to open your settings and make sure that it is not blocking any apps. If your anti-virus/firewall has an app "whitelist", you will need to make sure your Xbox enabled
games are on this list.



Make Certain Your Windows Updates Didn't Get "Stuck"

Did you know that even if you have Automatic Updates selected, some Windows Updates can get "stuck" for various reasons? Lots of people (myself included) have discovered much to their surprise that some Windows Updates just simply didn't go through like
we thought they did and it affects the performance of the entire machine.

1. Press the Windows key
2. Type in Windows Update
3. Under the search bar you see on the right, choose Check for Updates
4. In the Windows Update screen, press the Check Now button
5. Even if it doesn't seem to find any updates, click on View Details
6. Install any updates you see that haven't been installed - including optional ones
   
7. Go to your Shutdown menu and choose 'Restart' from the options. You must choose restart- turning your PC/tablet off will not work!
   

Uninstall & Reinstall with a Clean Windows Store Cache

1. Uninstall Taptiles (to uninstall, right-click on the app icon and choose Uninstall from the bottom menu)
   
2. Press Windows Key and R
3. In the box that pops up, type wsreset.exe and press Enter

5. Hover over the right-hand side to bring up the charm bar and go to Settings
6. In the Settings Menu, go to App Updates
7. In the App Updates menu, press both Check for Updates AND Sync Licenses
8. Press the arrow key at the top left to go back
9. In the search bar at the right, type in Taptiles
10. Reinstall Taptiles

Refresh Your Computer

1. Press the Windows Key
2. Click on Refresh Your PC Without Affecting Your Files
3. Let it work its magic

5. Launch the game again

Clear Your Disk Cache

5. Go to the following folder: C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Packages\[GAMENAME]\LocalState\
   
6. [USERNAME] – is the name you use to log in to the computer
7. [GAMENAME] – is something with Taptiles in the name. Something like this for example:
   
8. Taptiles_8wekyb3d8bbwe
