    I can't receive party or game invites notifications on windows.


    Hello,

    I have an issue. I can't receive party or game invites notifications. It used to work before and for some reason it stopped working.

    I tried resetting xbox game bar and xbox apps.

    keeping everthing up to date.

    Clean installing windows 11 twice.

    Executing cmd commands like: get-appxpackage *gamingoverlay* | remove-appxpackage

    checking notifications on windows and xbox app and xbox game bar.

    Nothing worked..

    Please provide me with a fix.

    It's worth noting that sometimes game invitations (I play age of empires 2 DE) appear in notification part of the xbox app but there's no alert or blue notifications that pops out from xbox game bar and you have to check it manually. Activating HDR trigger the notification from xbox game bar.

    It's almost like xbox game bar not in sync with xbox app.

    Thank you.

    I have a lenovo legion pro 5i (2023) with intel i5 13500HX CPU)

    PS: I'm a computer science engineer and a developer.

    :)

    Party Chat invites on Xbox Companion App on PC

    I think the party invite notification was removed and put on the Xbox Game bar instead, if you launch the game bar by pressing windows key and g, then goto settings - social, you should find an option to turn on notification for invites to party.

    Windows 10 Xbox Companion App Not Receiving Party Invitations

    I've also lost the option for "Party Invites" on Windows 10 PC's Xbox Companion App. I've tried updating and resetting, but to no avail. I was receiving party invites through my computer a few days ago, and for some reason, it's completely stopped.
    I assume it was the newest update they released. My mobile phone receives party invites, as well as has the option box to turn on or off the invitations.

    What personally worked for me is the windows key + G, and going to the mini box "Xbox Social (Beta)". It should be sitting in the notification bell as (1). Although, It expires in a matter of seconds, as it usually would for me in the windows action center.

    I'm sad that this was how I had to join my friend's party, and may have to continue to do this; or at least, until they add back the option to receive invites on the companion.

    Xbox game invites

    I can join parties and receive party invites just fine. The problem is the game invites. For example, I was trying to play Call of Duty: Warzone through a Looking For Group post. I join the party but then don't receive the game invite and can't invite
    them to my game.

    Windows 10 Xbox Companion App Not Receiving Party Invitations

    I noticed the same issue after a recent update to the app. There is simply no longer an option to receive party invite notifications in the notification settings of the app.
