Xbox Party not working at all

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues with your Xbox Party on Windows PC.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Please check microphone permissions. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone on your PC. Make sure that microphone access is enabled for apps, including the Xbox app and Xbox Game Bar.

And then verify audio device settings by right-clicking the sound icon in the taskbar and select Sound Settings. Under Input, make sure the correct microphone is selected and test it to confirm it’s working.

Next is to update audio drivers. To do this, open Device Manager and expand Audio Inputs and Outputs. Right-click your microphone and select Update Driver. Choose Search Automatically for Updated Drivers.

Then reset the Xbox App. Go to Settings > Apps > Installed Apps, find the Xbox app, and select Advanced Options. Click Repair and then Reset. Do the same for the Xbox Game Bar.

Firewalls or antivirus software can interfere with Xbox Party connections temporarily disable them and try joining a party again.

Kindly check Xbox Network Settings. Open the Xbox app and go to Settings > Network. Make sure that your NAT type is Open. If it’s not, restart your router or configure port forwarding for Xbox Live services.

If the issue persists after performing the steps, uninstall and reinstall the Xbox app from the Microsoft Store.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Thank you for replying unfortunately none of these worked.

You right mane I do not know how this happened.

It's terrible, never had anywhere near the amount of issues on the 360. Keep it sweet and simple, something that actually works.
