How to Fix Error 0x87e107d1 on Xbox One?
Several Xbox One users have been reaching us with questions after encountering the 0x87e107d1 error code when trying to play certain games on their console. While some affected users are seeing this error message with only one game, other users are reporting that the issue is recurring and affects every game that they purchased digitally. As it turns out, the issue only seems to affect games and applications that use Xbox Live services.
What’s causing the 0x87e107d1 error?
We investigated this particular error code by looking at various user reports and by testing out different repair strategies that are typically recommended by users that managed to resolve the problem. As it turns out, several different scenarios might trigger this error message. Here’s a shortlist of potential culprits:
- Xbox Live Service issue – In some cases, this error code is triggered as a result of a widespread issue that appears during a maintenance period or a DDoS attack. If the issue is caused by a server problem, there is no viable fix other than to confirm the origin and wait for Microsoft’s engineers to fix it.
- Network status glitch – As it turns out, this particular issue can occur in instances where your network status gets stuck into a limbo state (it’s neither online or offline). If this scenario is applicable, you should be able to resolve the issue by switching your network status to offline mode, launching the app and then re-launching it while in online mode again.
- A glitch caused by temporary files – Judging by the various user reports, this particular fix can also be caused by one or more corrupted files that are stuck inside the Temp folder of your console. In cases like this, the easiest fix is to perform a power-cycling procedure which will clear the temp folders and drain the power capacitors, which will end up fixing the issue in most cases.
- OS file corruption – Under certain conditions, this particular issue can also surface due to a firmware glitch or some type of OS file that has become corrupted. In situations like this one, the only viable fix that will not produce data loss is to perform a soft reset.
Method 1: Checking for server issues
First things first, we should start by investigating if the issue you’re having is not widespread. There’s no point in trying out the various repair strategies if the issue is beyond your control.

Method 3: Power Cycling the console
If the method above didn’t allow you to circumvent the 0x87e107d1 error code, some kind of firmware or software issue is likely causing the problem. In situations like this one, the most effective fix is to perform a power-cycling on your console – This procedure will clear any temporary data and clear the power capacitors, which will end up resolving the vast majority of firmware and software issues that will spawn this error code.
Several affected users have confirmed that this issue was effective in allowing them to circumvent the error and play their favorite games once again.
Here’s a quick guide on performing a power cycle on your Xbox console:
- Ensure that your console is fully turned on, then press and hold on the Xbox button (on the front of your console). Keep that button pressed for 10 seconds, or until you see the front light flashing intermittently. When you finally see this behavior, release the power button.
- After the shut down is completed successfully, wait a full minute before turning the console back on. To ensure that the power-cycling procedure is successful, you can also physically disconnect the power cable for the power source to ensure that the process is complete.
- Once you’re ready to turn your console back on, press the console-based power button once again, but don’t keep it pressed like before. Only press it one normally, then be on a lookout for the initial animation logo – If you see it, take it as a confirmation that the power-cycling procedure was successful.
- After your console is fully booted, try to complete the sign-up process once again and see if you’re still encountering the 0x87e107d1 error code.
If you’ve performed the instructions above and you’re still encountering the same error message, move down to the next method below.
Method 4: Performing a Soft Reset
If the power-cycling procedure didn’t work in your case, chances are you’re dealing with some type of firmware glitch or corruption that doesn’t originate from the temporary files. In situations like this one, one viable fix that will not produce any data loss is to perform a soft reset.
Several affected users have reported that they managed to circumvent the 0x87e107d1 entirely after they performed a soft reset which ended up replacing any corrupted data that might be causing the problem. Keep in mind that this reset will only apply to OS files – this means that every installed application, game or media will remain intact.
Here’s a quick guide on performing a soft reset on your Xbox One console:
- With your console fully turned on, press the Xbox button (on your controller) once to open up the guide menu. Once you’re inside the guide menu, navigate to System > Settings > System > Console Info.
- After you manage to get inside the Console Info menu, access the Reset console button.
- Once you’re inside the Reset console menu, choose the Reset and keep my games & apps option.
- After you start the process, wait patiently until the operation is finished. Once it is, your console will restart automatically.
