How do I fix Xbox Sign In error 0x800c000b?
1: Check Xbox Live services status report
First, make sure that Xbox Live Services are up and running.
Due to maintenance or a temporary server error, the services might be down and thus you’ll be unable to access your Xbox Live account or use the online-based features.
Also, this is the most common reason why sign-in errors occur in the first place. You can see the Xbox Live Services Status Report, here.
2: Power cycle the console
Most of the problems with any Xbox console, starting with Xbox to Xbox One, are resolved with a simple reboot.
Hard reset or power cycle of the console usually fixes all kinds of system halts.
There are rarely some complex reasons behind the sign-in error like this one, so resetting the console should help on most occasions.
Follow these steps to Power Cycle the console:
- Press and hold the Power button for 10 seconds or so.
- Wait until the console shuts down.
- After a minute, turn on the console again and look for changes.
