1) Insert the game disc
Disc games must remain inserted in the Xbox console drive when you play them. This is the only way to verify that you own the game. As the Xbox evolves towards digital games if you bought one of the shelves, this is how you prove it.
The trick does not apply to the Xbox One S or any console, which is not included with the player.
2) Connect to Xbox Live
To play a game or use an application, you must sign in to Xbox Live. Most users configure their profile to connect automatically or use the controller if this is not the case for you, so:
- Press the Xbox Guide button on the controller
- Navigate to the far left to find a list of all profiles
- Select your profile and log in
You may need to enter the password if you have enabled it. Restart the game and it should work fine.
3) Ask the owner to connect to Xbox Live
Xbox Live allows the owner of a game to share it with accounts that are on the same console. However, this only works for their home Xbox. Anyone on the main Xbox will be able to play games owned by the owner if they are connected to the console. So you need to set the current console as Home Xbox, and the owner of the game or app must also sign in to the console.
4) Check Xbox Live status
Xbox services often break down. Sometimes these services are not able to check the status live. So it would be helpful if you wait for them to resolve before you can play. There are two ways to find Xbox Live status:

Visit Xbox Live status Web page to check if any of the services are down.
On Xbox One
- Press the Xbox Guide button to open the guide menu.
- Select Settings> All settings> Network> Network settings
- Xbox Live status information can be found on the screen.
You can also choose to test a network connection. It will refresh and display the status on the right side. If all is well, you should no longer see error 0x803F8001 on Xbox One.
5) Restart the game
The Xbox keeps the game state when you move on. If you did it a long time ago and come back to the game, it will check the property. It may not be validated. Therefore, it is best to quit the game and restart it.
To exit a game on Xbox One, highlight it on the Home screen, and then press the menu button (three lines) on the controller. It will reveal the context menu of the game. Choose Exit. Relaunch it to check if the problem persists.
6) Restart the console
Answer most problems like Windows 10 PC. If nothing works, restart the console. Press and hold the Xbox Guide button, the center button. It will give you the option to restart the console. Select Restart the console, then launch the game when it returns.
You can also turn Xbox One on and off for best results. Hold it Xbox button on the front of your Xbox One console until you hear a sound and the console shuts down. Leave the console for 2-3 minutes, then restart it using the controller or the power button
7) Buy a digital copy of the same game or application
If you have lost the physical game disc, you will need to purchase another disc or purchase the digital version of the game. The game is available on the console, so you don't need to download it again. Just pay for it and the Xbox will no longer search for the physical disk.
