Friend does NOT recive game invite (PC) (GoW4)

Since nothing Microsoft or Xbox people say seems to help on this site or Reddit etc. or even relate to the problem at hand, after messing around I found how to fix this for my situation. Sadly this may turn on more notifications from Microsoft than anybody actually wants....

On Windows 10:

>Mouse Over Bottom Right of the Screen to show 'Action Center'/Notifications

>Click 'All Settings' (Gear Icon)

>Click 'System - display, notifications, power'

>Click 'Notifications & Actions'

>Turn on   "Get notifications from apps and other senders" & "Show notifications on lock Screen"

>Scroll Down 

>Obviously turn off all the worthless Notifications like 'Cortana'

>Turn on Xbox and whatever else you want.

*Note: Since you said PC in the question portion of the OP I assume that you're looking for a fix for the PC. This seems obvious, but I noticed on other sites people really struggle with the difference between PC and XB1.

Really hope this helps anyone who needs it. I know the frustration of dealing with nonsense.

both his and mine are OPEN (NAT) . Its  We can actually join party chats, and play (if HE sends the invite)

however since on GOW4 if you host (and own maps) your friend can join in.

Since he is hosting and does not own the maps, we cant play them. that's the issue.

the thing is that WINDOWS is not  pushing a notification (the GAME invite)

thanks for the reply.

Idk man, it is there on mine and I believe that it is automatically installed on all Windows 10 pcs.

If you're still trying to fix it you might be able to reset it:

Settings > Apps > Apps & Features > Scroll Down & Click  'Xbox' > Click 'Advanced Options' > Reset

Then go back to the first method.

Hmm... my "get notifications from apps and other senders" and "show notifications on lock screen" is already on.  However, I do NOT see "Xbox" when I scroll down in the "Get notifications from senders" list.  Should it be there?
