Windows 10 Xbox app is absolutely horrible and needs to be fixed.

Microsoft this is literally the worst app I have used on a computer ever. 90% of the time it doesn't let me view my friends list. The 10% of the time it does it says Teredo is unable to qualify and I can't join parties or games. Even on the very rare occasion
that this does work, my friends' profiles never load half the time and even right now I can't join any parties or games because they don't show up. Not only this, but the app has terrible loading times and always manages to pop up and interrupt any game I
play. This app needs to be fixed if Microsoft wants to do anything on pc which they are clearly trying to do. Once again, this is the worst app I have ever used on a computer and I have never had it fully working. Never buying another Microsoft product again
until this is fixed and I am never recommending this to anyone I know.

It's not just bad for friends, it has none of the industry standard features of any of the other apps. Hell, even the brand new bare bones Epic app is better than Xbox companion.

I recently formatted my PC, and wanted to get all of my Xbox companion app games ready, like I had for all my other apps (steam, Origin, etc...). However, the Xbox app, for some reason, can't recognise previous installs game files (like all the other apps
did instantly), so I thought i'll just start the install and it will recognise them then. NOPE, it just deleted all of the game files and proceeds to re-download all of the game files unnecessarily. What a waste of my time.

Hello!

I've had little to no issues with the app in years both on Windows and mobile. Have you tried to see if you have the same issues on a different network, or with a different computer on the same network? If it does it on a different network with the same computer,
there's likely something with the computer causing an issue. If it does it on another computer, on the same network, it's likely something with the network configuration causing an issue. It may also be helpful to take a look at the router configuration.
If you have 2 routers (one from your ISP and one of your own) double NAT could be causing some trouble. If you're specifically getting Teredo errors, disabling IPv6 may also help.

Xbox one party system is absolutely horrible. Whoever thought of this incredibly outdated and inadequate system needs to pull it together and fix this. I've always had the xbox over the playstation but this is the kind of stuff that gets people to switch.
This is ridiculous.
