Friend notification every 10 minutes or so from one friend.

You might have to perform a hard reset on your console, and also remove your account and redownload it.

Let me know how this goes.

The application to talk to your Xbox friends from your phone works very well but the PC application fails quite a lot. I have a friend who comes in and every 10 minutes goes out and comes back in, so continuously it is maddening.

Just to make sure, the first thing you're going to want to try is a full power cycle by pressing the Xbox button down on the console for 10 seconds until it powers down, wait about 10-15 seconds, then power it back up again.

After that I'd check to make sure your notifications are turned on: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/console/pop-up-notifications

If it's from a specific friend, you might want to check that that friend is not "muted" under their details from Friends on the dashboard.

The problem here isn't with adding friends specifically, but with the notification system, which is very buggy and intermittent.

In theory, adding friends is easy: You get the notification, you press view profile, then add friend.

Or you pick a player from the recent players list, then add friend.

Or... Well you get the idea. The problem is undoubtedly with the notifications. Every morning I get two notifications: One to say [gamer] and three other people added me as a friend, and one to say [gamer] and two other people requested to join my club.

The dates are from January and March, and no matter how I clear them, they won't go away.

In the meantime, if you want to add someone specifically, I suggest obtaining their gamertag, pressing the Xbox button, going to the friends tag and selecting search for person.

Hi, I think i know what you are talking about, but I don't think there is a way to be removed from the Poplular Bradcasting list, other than to become less popular,(I could be wrong, I'm not an expert on this feature) but I don't think your friend would
want to do that. As for the friend requests popping up every 2 minutes, you can turn notifications off, but you can't stop people from sending friend requests.
