    Some of my Xbox Friends show as offline, even though they are not appearing offline.


    This happens on both my Xbox One S and my Xbox App for Windows 10. Many of my friends show as offline and am not able to join their game or party. I talked with one of my friends and he confirmed that he was not appearing offline. As well, I do not receive
    party invites from them. I really need help on how to fix this so I can talk with my friends.

    EDIT: Xbox says some of my friends are online, but certain ones never appear online when they should

    :)

    Hi Robert,

    Thanks for getting back to us in regards to this! I would like to ask, have you been able to test your network connection? How does your NAT type look? Is it moderate, open or strict? Also, if you have not tested your network go ahead and
    'Test multiplayer connection' and let us know if you get any error messages.

    If you do receive an error go over our troubleshooting article
    'I get an error message when I run the 'Test multiplayer connection' on Xbox One'

    Hope to hear back soon.

    Hi Robert,

    I know this issue can be frustrating since it makes it harder for you to play with your friends who are online. Since your friends list is tied to your Xbox profile my suggestion would be to remove and then re-add the profile and let the data re-sync from
    Xbox Live.

    First remove the profile and then go ahead and do a
    hard reset and power cycle    . Hold down the power button on the console for about 10 seconds until it shuts down and then remove the power cable from the Xbox and the power outlet for about 2-3 minutes. During this time
    go ahead and also unplug your router and modem for about 5 minutes. Then re-connect the network hardware and the Xbox and turn on the Xbox. Once it's back on and connected to Xbox Live, go ahead and re-add the profile.

    Let us know if that helps at all.
