So from about last week Friday when i launch my game it loads in but then when it tries to connect it gives me the error saying
We couldn’t sign you in to Xbox Live Try again in a while with this error 0x87dd0003 please help i want to plat the game but this keep happening.
After Searching for an hour or so last night, i found nothing that actually had a solid answer, only generic information that sounds like something that a phone support rep would provide (rubbish), so i branched out to other software that have had the similar sign in trouble.
Hopefully this helps someone else.
The last thing you try, always works, so, as the last thing i tried worked for me, i will suggest it as the first thing to try because the more i thought about it, the more it seemed like the most logical answer.
The first thing you to do is to confirm that your “Office” Products are activated correctly,
Also make sure your “Windows” is activated correctly as well.
Check “Windows Update” for any new updates,
Its all connected on a licensing level (basically)
Then
click “START”
click “UPDATE & RESTART” or “RESTART”
Once You’ve booted up, if you did need to activate or re-activate, then try to sign in to the Xbox app again (not the game, the actual Xbox app)
If it doesn’t work then you want to open an elevated “powershell”.
To open an elevated powershell, press the “Windows Key” or click “start” and type “powershell”
You should see the result “Windows PowerShell”,
Right-click on it and select “Run as Administrator”.
What we will do next is remove the “Xbox App” and the “Windows App Store”
Copy and paste the following line into the “powershell” and then press enter.
Get-AppxPackage xbox | Remove-AppxPackage
Copy and paste the following line into the “powershell” and then press enter.
Get-AppxPackage windowsstore | Remove-AppxPackage
Then
click “START”
click “UPDATE & RESTART” or “RESTART” (it should say to update)
This will allow the system to complete the uninstall process and whatever else it wants to do.
When the system reboots, the “Windows App Store” should be gone along with the “Xbox App”
they should both be gone, that is good, if not,
click “UPDATE & RESTART” or “RESTART”,
or try again to remove them
What we will do next is reinstall the standard apps, including both “Xbox App” and the “Windows App Store”
Once You’ve rebooted, you want to open an elevated “powershell” again.
Copy and paste the following line into the “powershell” and then press enter.
Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
Then
click “START”
click “UPDATE & RESTART” or “RESTART” (it should say to update)
This will allow the system to complete the uninstall process and whatever else it wants to do.
when it has rebooted, wait a minute or two, then,
click “START”
click “UPDATE & RESTART” or “RESTART” (it should say to update)
Sometimes it might require a few “UPDATE & RESTART” or “RESTART”
to allow the system to finish installing any extra packages.

Never go messing with powershell commands as the FIRST port of call. Especially if you don’t know what you’re doing. At best it won’t fix your problem, at worst it will kill your windows install.
Lots of people have a PC and no idea what goes on in the little box under the desk, telling them to go messing with the windows store manifest is asking for trouble. If you know your way around a PC, fine, great. But most people as evidenced by these very forums have little idea what a CLI even is, never mind how to use one.
There are plenty of less drastic actions such as typing WSRESET.exe in “Run” box. Things that are way less likely to cause damage, especially if mispelled. Which is likely judging by the level of spelling ability of these boards. (You know it’s Ferrari, you’ve seen Ferrari 8 gajillion times, so why spell it Farrare with no irony like any old letters will do?)
If you’ve tried everything else, then this is an option, but i don’t recommend it as a first port of call for novices.

First move it to correctly activate Microsoft products and ensure windows update is functioning.
If they are here looking at this thread, clearly they are already having trouble. “if” they follow the instructions, which most people can do, then they should be fine.
WSRESET.exe will only clear the cache, what we are aiming to do here with the powershell is to rebuild the manifest by making sure the store has all of its original components installed and that it updates and communicates with all of its components.
I can see your concern in this aspect, but it would take the correct combination of misspelled words and commands to do something that would cause concern, that is why they only need to copy and paste. If they are going to try venture from the information provided then that is their choice.
There is many third party programs that will run the necessary commands in powershell without the user requiring to do anything but click.
Many people have used such programs to remove/uninstall Apps commonly called bloatware, this in many cases is part of the problem.
These programs also have the ability to reinstall apps/bloatware, but as we don’t know what else they are doing, it is less risk for those who have a paranoia of spyware and/or trojans to be provided with a few simple steps that they can do without the need to download or install anything.
By all means, try a third party program that can uninstall/install windows 10 Apps/Bloatware, it “should/could” fix that part of the problem, some antivirus programs might detect them as a risk and require you to make an exception or allow it to download or run.
There is HEAPS of tutorials about uninstalling and reinstalling the windows store and apps as well as a handful of programs that provide a simple user interface.
There is HEAPS of tutorials about activating your windows.
There is HEAPS of threads about not being able to sign in to Xbox and other Microsoft software
The thing that all of these problems have in common is the Windows store and Microsoft licensing, so these are the things that need to be looked at, using the powershell is the cleanest way to get the job done.
Basically, all i am suggesting is,
- Confirm your Microsoft products are activated correctly (i presume a patched product might have a problem)
- Confirm your Windows Store & Xbox App (or Xbox beta) are installed correctly and not missing any components (by deleting and reinstalling)
I fully understand what you’re doing, I am fine doing this kind of thing. But many others are not. Mistyping something is easy when you know what you’re doing, when you don’t and can’t spell anyway, well it’s easier. That is the point i was making, the general populace are not versed in things such as this and should not be told to do it first when other easier options are available and known to work for many.
