How can I fix Xbox error code 80151103?

Usually, the status will be displayed as up and running in green color with a green tick next to Xbox Live Core Services.

2. Confirm your Microsoft account credentials

Xbox error code 80151103 can come up if your Microsoft accountโ€™s security information is not correct. In order to resolve this, do the following:

  • Sign in to your Microsoft account. In case you forgot your password or are unable to sign in using it, you can check with the Lost Account or Lost Password troubleshooting on how to change it.
  • Once youโ€™re signed in, go to Security & Privacy
  • Click Change password & more
  • Under Security info helps keep your account secure, verify your email addresses and phone number
  • You can add or update your security information as and when necessary
  • Sign out and sign in again
  • Try to sign in to Xbox Live

3. Reset your password

You can change your Microsoft account password by going to account.live.com and following the prompts. Once you change it, sign in again and try Xbox Live again.

Password changes are ideal if you think someone else is using your account, or the retailer you use had a security breach and you used the same password on your account, or you just want to change it for safety reasons.

However, if you forgot the password and know your email address, reset the password online by verifying your identity using other information. If you donโ€™t know either information, use the Lost account or a Lost password solution to reset it.

Note: You cannot change your Microsoft account password on your Xbox One console.

4. Download your Xbox Live profile again

  • Move your Xbox Live profile by using a USB flash drive, plugging it into your console then going to the dashboard>settings>storage>all devices>gamer profiles (select your gamer profile).

  • Clear the system cache by pressing the Guide button, then go to Settings>System Settings>Storage/Memory. Highlight any storage device, then go back to your controller and press Y. Select Clear System Cache, and select Yes to confirm
