Why do I keep getting this error when I try to invite or join parties on Xbox for windows 10?

Hello Bone Grinder,

Thanks for posting here on the Xbox forums. What happens when you try to join the party through a party invite? Do you get an error message or code? If you haven't already, try restarting your windows device and then trying again.

Am also having this issue since the update. Cannot join parties, cannot invite people to party i've started either. Error message, 'can't connect to xbox live party'. Can join game invite and can invite people to game without any issues. Will try the above
when I get home, fingers crossed.

When i try to join my friends party on Xbox one it works fine, but on windows it shows they are in a party but when i click on their name it doesnt show they are in a party. This has only been happening recently

Hi, Try to Restart you Xbox app on Pc then try again. If this didn't work go into their profile and then wait a few if the join party button doesn't show up check if their party is on joinable if so please report the problem in the app and let your friends
send you and invite while your report is processed.

Hope this help.
