What To Do If The 10-Digit Code Is Not Working? 

It is possible that even after getting the code, you still may not be able to sign in to your Xbox app and connect it to your console. In such cases, refer to the section below.  

Poor Connection

Despite being connected to the internet, if your Xbox app still doesn’t work, there can be some issues with your internet connection. A slow internet connection can increase loading times and sometimes disallows the app to connect to the Xbox.

It is also possible that your internet connection is fine, but the device on which you are using the Xbox app is facing problems connecting to the internet. 

In this scenario, the first thing you should do is test your internet connection on multiple devices to see if it’s working properly. If your internet is slow or if there are disconnecting issues with it, restart your router.

If the problem continues, contact your Internet Service Provider for further assistance. If the internet is only malfunctioning on the device you use the Xbox app on, restart it to see if it works.
