The first step is to check the servers, and once you have determined whether the servers are up and running, you can attempt to fix the issue with other methods.
Check The Xbox Server Status
Whilst this is not an immediate fix, it can tell you whether there is anything that can be done on your end or if it’s something that you’ll need to wait for Microsoft to fix. The 0x80048051 Error on Xbox can appear when the Microsoft servers are playing up, so it’s important to check their status. To check the Xbox server status, head to https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-live-status. Make sure to come back here after for more information.
On the server status page you can view the server status for all of the Xbox services and many other Xbox One and Xbox 360 apps. If you have found that any of the main services are currently offline or experiencing problems, or if an app you are using is offline, you will unfortunately not be able to resolve the issue immediately. At this point the issue can only be resolved by Microsoft themselves – it’s something that they’ll be working hard on, so the best thing you can do is be patient and keep an eye on the link provided above and on the Xbox support Twitter account. If the servers are up and running you will need to follow the next steps to resolve the issue manually.
Quick Restart

Change the DNS Settings of Your Xbox

The Xbox might show the error code 0x80048051 if another device on your network is hindering the operation of the Xbox (especially, if any of the devices has an application like SpyPro). In this context, disconnecting all other devices from the network may solve the problem. If so, then try to identify the problematic device by connecting the devices to the network one by one.
Reset Your Router to the Factory Defaults
Once in a while, it is not uncommon for a router’s firmware to become corrupt and this firmware corruption may lead to the error 0x80048051 on Xbox.
