I suggest you to attempt these simple fixes before delving into advanced remedies:

1. Check Server Status

5. Checking Internet Connection

Disable The Proxy Server

Disabling the proxy server is essential for resolving Xbox Live Error 0xbba, ensuring a direct and secure connection between your Xbox and the Xbox Live servers for a seamless gaming experience. Proxies can interfere with this connection, and disabling them eliminates potential obstacles. My colleague conducted a test that successfully resolved this issue by turning off the VPN, a solution that has also been effective for other users on the Microsoft Community Forum.

1. Press “Windows + R” to open the Run dialogue.
2. Type “inetcpl.cpl” and press Enter. This will open the Internet Properties window.

   

3. In the Internet Properties window, go to the “Connections” tab.
4. Under the “Local Area Network (LAN) settings” section, click on the “LAN settings” button.

   

5. In the LAN Settings dialogue, you will see a section titled “Proxy server.”
6. Uncheck the box labelled “Use a proxy server for your LAN.”

   

7. Click “OK” to close the LAN Settings dialog
8. Click “Apply” and “OK” in the Internet Properties window to save your changes.
9. If you had a proxy configured in your browser, it’s a good practice to restart your web browser to ensure that it no longer uses the proxy settings.

Give Extra Permissions To A Registry Key

1. Press “Windows + R” to open the Run dialogue.
2. Type “regedit” and press Enter. This will open the Registry Editor.

   

3. Navigate to the following address:
   “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\Control Nsi {eb004a01-9b1a-11d4-9123-0050047759bc} 26”

   

4. Right-click on this registry key, and then select “Permissions…”
5. In the Permissions dialogue box, go to the “Security” tab.
6. Check the “Full Control” box under “Permission for Everyone”.

   

7. Click “Apply” and then “OK” to save the changes.
8. You may receive a security warning about changing permissions on a key. Confirm the changes if prompted.
9. Close the Registry Editor.

Restart Xbox Services

To restart all Xbox-related services on Windows, you can use the Windows Services application. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Press “Windows + R” this will open the Run dialogue.
2. Type “services.msc” and press Enter or click OK. This will open the Services application.
3. Scroll down the list of services until you find the Xbox-related services. These services might include:
   • Xbox Live Auth Manager
   • Xbox Live Game Save
   • Xbox Live Networking Service
   • Xbox Live RPC Service

     

4. Select the first Xbox-related service.
5. Right-click on it and select “Restart.”
6. Repeat this process for each Xbox-related service you want to restart.
7. Once you’ve restarted the services, you can close the Services application.

Correct Your Date And Time

The Xbox app is synchronized to the date and time on your computer; problems can arise if your date and time are incorrect.

Final Verdict

In my experience, glitches may result from outdated systems, so checking for updates is advisable. Turning off the proxy server is a potential fix, and if the issue persists, reaching out to Xbox customer support is recommended.
