    Error 800706F4 occurs when starting an Xbox One game

    You see the following error code when you try to start an Xbox One game:

    800706F4

    The game could not successfully start, which may be due to the way the game is stored on your console.

    Solutions

    To resolve this problem, try the following solutions:

    Solution 1: Try to start the game again

    1. On Home, move right and select My games & apps.
    2. Select Games.
    3. Select the game you're trying to play.

    If the game doesn't start, try the next solution.

    Solution 2: Restart your Xbox One console

    1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
    2. Select Settings.
    3. Select Restart console.
    4. Select Yes to confirm.
    5. Try to start the game again.

    Note If you're unable to access the guide or if the console appears to be frozen, press and hold the Xbox button on the console for 10 seconds, until the console turns off. After the console shuts down, touch the Xbox button on the console again to restart. Try to start the game again.

    Solution 3: Reinstall the game

    Reinstalling the game will overwrite the game that's stored on your console. Whether you installed from a disc or from Microsoft Store, you'll have to uninstall the previous installation first. To uninstall a game:

    1. On Home, move right and select My games & apps.
    2. Select Games.
    3. Select the game you want to uninstall.
    4. Press the Menu button on your controller and select Uninstall.

    You can then reinstall the game by inserting the disc or by downloading it again from Microsoft Store. To download the game again, search for the game in Microsoft Store, select the game, and then select Install.

    If you keep experiencing the problem, contact Xbox Support.
