How to Fix “Error Code: 80151006” on Xbox Live?

This Xbox error 80151006 usually occurs when you launch an application like Netflix or Facebook. Sometimes this also happens when you try to play a BlueRay disk. Code is as follows: “Sorry, this profile can’t connect to Xbox LIVE on this console. To fix, download it again”

This error can have multiple reasons such as MAC address, Xbox One server issue, System file corruption, Firmware-issues. These are only a few but this error can occur by many other possibilities.

One of the first things that you can do to solve this issue is you can check if the Xbox servers are down or not. This error tells us that “This profile can’t connect to Xbox Live” which indicates that Xbox servers might be down for maintenance or other reasons. To check if the Xbox servers are up and running you cant go to Downdetector.  

One of the main reasons this error occurs is when the console is modded. People Mod their consoles to get all the games for free, but this comes at a cost, you can not play these games online and the Xbox loses its ability to connect to the Xbox live servers. 

Our console is not modded and the Xbox servers are live and you are still getting this error code, try using these fixes:
