Can't host multiplayer minecraft on LAN

Make sure you are doing the following:

Multiplayer Options

Minecraft (Bedrock) supports the following multiplayer options:

• Locally hosted multiplayer world via LAN or Xbox Live
• Realms
• Servers (unofficial, third party server software)

Locally hosted multiplayer world via LAN or Xbox Live

Any world can be a locally hosted multiplayer world, and accessible to other
Minecraft players.

To start, create new world or load an existing one. Then, select World Settings (pencil icon) →
Multiplayer → Multiplayer Game. If all players are on the same local network, you may also toggle on
Visible to LAN Players.

Other player(s) can join the world by navigating to the Friends tab and selecting the world.

Minecraft is up to date on the PCs. There were a few windows updates available, so I have updated the PCs to the latest version. This has not corrected the issue. Still can't see any of the worlds being hosted by the other PCs on the LAN.

This is for normal worlds hosted on other devices on my local area network. I've tested hosting worlds on android tablets, android phones, ipads, and a dedicated bedrock server running on my PC. In all cases, the mobile devices are able to connect to other
multiplayer worlds on my LAN, but the XBox shows the "Your friends are not playing Minecraft right now" message despite being able to see the other worlds (as indicated by the count under the friends tab).

Hi, from the Minecraft support https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360035131391-How-do-I-play-multiplayer-

It says that

"A player's game version must be the same as the server version to play on that server, whether it's LAN or hosted online. You can see your game version number at the bottom of your main menu."

Try that first.

Please answer the following questions

Is this happening with Java or Bedrock edition?
Is this happening only when you try connecting to his world?
Which troubleshooting steps you have done so far to fix this?

I'll be waiting for your reply, greetings from another Microsoft user!
