Xbox App on PC not receiving any notifications/activity alerts

Hi,

There are different factors that we have to take into consideration on why you are unable to receive any notification/alerts on your Xbox app. Let's gather the following information so we can gain a better grasp of your case:

• Is this happening on a specific game only?
• Are there any changes made prior to this issue?
• When did you first encounter this issue?

Meanwhile, we suggest that you follow the steps below which will help us isolate your concern:

Step 1: Sign out and sign in to your profile to refresh it.

Step 2: Run the troubleshooter for Windows Apps on your computer by clicking the Run troubleshooter button on this link. This process
will check and resolve common issues with the apps on your PC.

Step 3: Reset the Windows Store to clear the Store cache.

1. Press Windows key + X on your keyboard.
2. Click on Command prompt (Admin).
3. Type wsreset.exe, and then hit Enter.

Step 4: Uninstall and reinstall the Xbox App to update it.

1. Click Start, and then type Windows Power Shell on the search box.
2. Right-click, and then select Run as administrator.
3. Type the following command to uninstall Xbox app: Get-AppxPackage *xboxapp* | Remove-AppxPackage.
4. Hit Enter.
5. Launch Windows Store and download the Xbox App.

Keep us updated with the results after performing the suggested solutions above.

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.

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.

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!

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.
