    Xbox App on PC not receiving any notifications/activity alerts


    So I'm trying to play the Sea of Thieves Beta on my PC, and I'm on the looking for group section for the game. I click the "I'm Interested" button for multiple groups, and eventually I get accepted into some of them. I never receive any activity alerts or
    notifications on my PC app. I'm not getting game invites, party invites, or anything else. I tried turning my xbox on at the same time that im using the app on my computer, and when i get accepted into these groups, the invites just pop up on my xbox instead
    of my PC. Whether my xbox is turned on, or off, it doesn't matter. None of the invites are going through to my PC xbox app, and it's getting really annoying. So far, im unable to group up with anyone while playing on my computer. I checked the notifications
    settings tab on my xbox app, and everything is activated, so that's not the problem. Can't find anything on google. In fact, most of the websites I've visited seem to have my problem, except in reverse. I cant fix it. pls halp

    :)

  2. Missing notifications

    Apparently, my Xbox one isn't receiving any social notifications- I do receive game and party invites. But when I went on the Xbox mobile app; I noticed that whenever someone adds me on Xbox or likes my activity, it doesn't pop-up on my Xbox one. I have
    checked my notification settings and everything is left on. I don't know how to resolve this problem. Please help.

    Activity Alerts displaying "0"

    Hi There,



    My profile keeps on displaying "0" activity alerts on the friends page since the October Update. When I go into the activity alerts page, it then shows I actually have new, recent activity. On the same Xbox One and network, my wife is able to see her
    activity alerts notifications on the dashboard and in the friends page.

    I need help with my notifications in Xbox app PC

    Verify that you have the notifications active in the "Xbox console companion" app and in the "Game Bar".

    Also check that they are active for these applications in the PC settings > System > Notifications.

    Xbox app freezing when being left open (unused) for a certain length of time

    The latest version of the app has all of the problems of the previous versions, but now when you get new activity alerts and it shows the number of new alerts on the activity alerts button, after looking at the alerts, the number no longer disappears and
    will remain there until you close and restart the app.

    Also, I removed a couple of favourites using the app - I set them as regular friends - but I still get online notifications for those friends, even though I have that set to "favourites only". Whatever I do, I can't seem to stop the online notifications
    for those people, which is annoying.

    Smartglass app cannot display activity alerts

    Hello Jon,

    We understand that you're experiencing an issue concerning the Xbox Smartglass in reference to the notifications displaying any alerts of activity.

    This would be due to the application not receiving any updates as it's
    retirement
    was announced on May 18, 2018. This also means there is no support available for the application, as everything has now shifted over
    to the Xbox application.

    Have a look through both provided articles, and let us know if this was helpful.

    Best wishes!

    Turn off notification when friends launch the xbox app

    In my case it's not that I'm getting notifications, that's no big deal and I do want them. The issue is since they "fixed" whatever they "fixed" it is flat out spamming people notifications now where it did not before. You'd get a single notification before that somebody was online and now it spams you when they sign on the console, spams you when they sign onto the Xbox App (I want to add it NEVER alerted me when somebody was on the Xbox App before, only alerted to them signing into the consoles) and spams you when they come back from being idle on one or both even if they are already showing as online. I'm getting spammed alerts to people I'm playing online with that they are signing online where it didn't do that before either. I'm getting extra alerts too it seems because I still have the Console Companion app installed (for reasons) and it's alerting me in the Xbox App (both PC and mobile), Game Bar and Console Companion on top of my console (my Xbox 360 in this case as I don't have any Xbox console beyond that), not just 1 of them. I'm getting alerts of people signing in on all of those at the same time and it's rather annoying.

    These alerts may be back again but whatever they did broke something else in the process.
