How to Fix Error Code 0x803F9006?
The following fixes are applicable to solve error code 0x803F9006.
- In case you have a disc edition console (the Xbox One, the Xbox One X, the Xbox One S, and the Xbox Series X), insert the game disc to validate user ownership. This will help the console identify you as the owner of the game, and thereby fix it. However, for digital-only consoles like the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition and the Xbox Series S, this step is not applicable.
- Try signing into your Xbox Live account from the console. Most of the time, wrong Xbox Live accounts can cause ownership conflicts.
- In case you are not the owner of a game, and it was installed digitally by someone else, make the owner sign in to Xbox Live. This will help Microsoft identify the owner, and thereby let everyone using the console play any game installed on it.
