As of Tuesday, February 17, 2026, official reports indicate that Xbox Live services are generally Up and Running. While the core services are operational, some users have reported minor “App not loading” and “Sign-in” issues over the last few hours.
If your apps aren’t working, it is likely a localized issue or a minor service degradation rather than a total platform outage.

Troubleshooting “Apps Not Working”
If the status page is green but your apps are still failing, try these steps in order:
Hard Power Cycle: Hold the power button on the front of the console for 10 seconds until it shuts down completely. Unplug the power cable for 30 seconds, then restart. This clears the system cache which often fixes app launch errors.
Check for “Limited” Services: Sometimes specific apps (like YouTube, Netflix, or the Xbox Accessories app) have “Limited” status even when the main network is fine. You can check the specific Official Xbox Status Page for these alerts.
Test Network Connection: Go to Settings > General > Network settings > Test network connection. If you see “Double NAT” or “UPNP Not Successful,” the issue is likely with your router.
Update the App: Highlight the app, press the Menu button (≡), select Manage app, and check for any pending updates.
Regional Note
There has been a recent “Megathread” on community forums regarding UK Age Verification updates causing crashes and sign-out issues for users in that region. If you are located in the UK, this specific system update might be the culprit
