What it means
Xbox shows 0x87DD0006 (or 87DD0006) when you try to sign in on an Xbox One console or a Windows PC. Xbox says it may mean the service had an outage just before the sign-in attempt, so the account and the device are not the first suspects. The order is: status page, restart of the console or PC, then the Xbox Forums. If the code appeared during a system update or setup, Xbox's system update troubleshooting applies instead.
