Method 1: Checking the Status of Xbox Live Services
As it turns out, in some cases, the 0x87de0003 error code will end up being caused by something beyond your control. You’re likely encountering this error due to a temporary problem with the Xbox Live core services. Keep in mind that if one or more Xbox Live servers is/are undergoing maintenance or are the target of a DDoS attack, your console will unable to verify if you have true ownership of the game or application that you’re trying to launch. If you think this scenario might be applicable, you can investigate the status of Xbox Live servers by accessing this link here (here) to check if any core services are currently down.

Method 2: Resetting your router/modem
Another potential culprit that might be causing the 0x87de0003 error code on an Xbox One console is a network inconsistency. Several users that we’re also struggling to resolve this issue have reported that they were able to resolve this issue by either restarting or resetting your router. In this case, forcing a network refresh will end up resolving a wide array of issues caused by a network inconsistency. The ideal way to start is with a simple network restart. This is less destructive than a network reset – it will allow you to reset your network components without making any long-lasting changes to your network credentials and settings. To perform a router/modem reset, simply press the dedicated restart button, or press the ON/OFF button twice if the first option is not available. Additionally, you can simply disconnect the power cable from the power outlet. If you’ve already done this and it didn’t resolve your issue, you can take things a bit further and go for a router/modem reset. But before you attempt this, keep in mind that depending on your network equipment, this procedure will also reset your custom credentials and the default address of your router Note: In most cases, both logins will be reverted to admin (for both username and password). To perform a router/modem reset, simply push the reset button and keep it pressed for at least 10 seconds. Depending on your router/modem model, you might need a toothpick or a similar pointy small object in order to reach the Reset button. You’ll notice that the LEDs on the router will start blinking intermittently once the procedure is complete. If you’ve already performed the two procedures above and you’re still encountering the 0x87de0003 error code when you try to launch a game or application on your Xbox One console, move down to the next method below.
Method 3: Performing a power cycle
If none of the two methods above have allowed you to resolve the issue, you’re likely dealing with some kind of firmware glitch. Several users that also found themselves in this scenario have managed to resolve the issue by performing a power-cycle. As it turns out, a power-cycling procedure will end up resolving most firmware-related issues because it drains the power capacitors, effectively clearing any data that remains stored on the console when you perform a regular restart or shut down. If you’re determined to follow this procedure, follow the instructions below for steps on performing a power cycle on Xbox One: If the same problem is still occurring, move down to the next method below.
Method 4: Performing a soft reset
