    Not receiving game invite notifications


    I was playing Minecraft and I called a friend and he tried to invite me to his world and it did not work. He invited me several times and i even restarted my PC and i still did not get it. I tried with other friends and i
    got none of their invites but they got mine. This is happening with all platforms like PS4, Xbox 1, and PC. I have even been connected to the Xbox app. Please help i want to play with my friends.I have even been connected to the Xbox app.

    :)

    How do you find your Friends game invites?

    Should find game invites in notifications. Or are you saying invites not received?

    Not receiving notifications/game invites

    Hey there, let's try
    removing the profile
    from the console then adding it back and try again then let us know if you still aren't getting the notifications.

    Not receiving invites or notifications

    Since this post got no traction here I wanted to add the solution I found which I summarized in my Xbox Reddit post (got more support there). You can find the full post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/636dpo/tech_signing_in_to_xbox_app_results_in_no_invites/?...

    Here are the steps I took to solve this issue which appears related to the Xbox iOS app, Xbox Windows 10 app, and Xbox one interacting in a not so nice manner and junking up the router:

    1. Uninstall the Xbox iOS app from my phone
    2. Un-check all notifications under the settings on the Xbox
    3. Switch Xbox to "energy save" (so it fully shuts down every time)
    4. Remove profile entirely
    5. Hard re-boot Xbox and Router, removing the power supplies of both
    6. Start up router, wait for it to connect to the interwebs
    7. Start up Xbox, re-download profile, enable notifications
    8. Never use the Xbox iOS app again

    Other steps I took that may have made no change but you might want to try just in case:

    •Forwarded all ports recommended by Xbox on their support site

    •Set Xbox up with a static IP address (later I removed this)

    •Removed static IP address from my laptop (not sure why it was there in the first place)

    •Disabled all Xbox notifications on the Windows 10 xbox app and then signing out (haven't signed back in yet and don't plan on it)

    •Disabled all notifications on the iOS app before uninstalling it from my phone

    I wanted to post the final results here just in case anyone, like me, finds this thread in the future and says "wait what was the conclusion!?!". I spend MANY hours googling and reading through countless threads about this and all of them didn't result in
    a fix or just died without the original poster confirming anything worked. Good luck!

    just a quick update, I realized after some testing with a buddy that I only receive invitations if my computer that runs windows 10 is turned on. I've gone through the notifications menu in the Xbox app and everything. I cannot receive invitations so long
    as my computer is turned off. How is this even an issue
