2] Power-cycle your Xbox One console

Do the following:

Ensure that your console is fully turned (not in hibernation mode).
On your console, press and hold the Xbox button and keep it pressed for about 10 seconds or until you notice that the front LED (on your console) stops flashing.
Once your Xbox Console is fully turned off, wait for a full minute before attempting to turn it back on.
Note: While you wait for this time period to pass, you can also disconnect the cable from the power outlet in order to ensure that the power capacitors are completely cleared.
After this period has passed, connect the power cable once again and start your console conventionally to see if this issue has been fixed.
During this next startup, you can pay attention to the startup animation logo. If you notice that the longest animation logo appears, take it as confirmation that the power cycling procedure has been successful.
Once the next startup is complete, repeat the action that was previously triggering the 0x87E00064 error code.
