Win10 Xbox App not receiving party invites which appear on Xbox One notifications

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.

I have received party invites playing cod. They appear in the notifications area in the top left of the home screen

As irritating as the notifications are it's not practical to turn off all notifications because I do use them regularly for party invites and similar, the only notifications I have enabled are ones I want to receive but unfortunately the game point ones aren't separate.

I've not tested extensively but the notifications seem to pop up far more often when I'm playing Forza Horizon 5 with up to eight of them in one evening while playing FH5. Tonight I was playing a game from the Epic Games Store for around an hour with no notifications but within five minutes of playing FH5 I received a game point notification although that was the only one tonight in a couple of hours.

The game point notifications appear to be generated by the game bar, it pops up on the same side of the screen the same format as an Xbox Party Invite and when opening the game bar the notification can be seen there as well as you can see here:





I checked the Xbox PC app and it only had a notification about Halo Infinite.

The notifications were appearing on the mobile app the same time as the desktop PC so the night I got eight on the PC there was another eight on the mobile as well which is what prompted me to look for solutions. However the mobile app has a specific notification setting for rewards point notifications and since turning it off, I've received none of these notifications on my phone although it hasn't stopped the PC notifications.

Hi NRGreer,

When using the Xbox app on Windows 10, you can manage your notifications settings so that you can set things that you want to notify you. Regarding your concern, there's a possibility that you accidentally disabled the Party invites
notification on the Xbox app that's why you haven't received any party invites. Let's try to refresh your notification settings by performing the steps below:

1. Open the Xbox app, and then click the gear icon to access the Xbox Settings.
2. Click the Notifications tab.
3. Check the box beside Party and game invitations. If it was already checked, try to uncheck and then recheck the box to refresh.
4. Relaunch the Xbox app.

Do get back to us with the results. We'd be more than willing to provide you additional help.

Thanks for the suggestion, I have ensured the notification setting isn't disturbed. The thing is, the only issue is with receiving Party Invites. All other notifications, such as messages, achievements, etc., appear to be working normally.
