Minecraft Windows 10 Edition - (Unable to connect to world) Friend can't join me and I can't join friend

Whenever we try to connect to each other's worlds through the Xbox app it says "Unable to connect to world". We can play together on a realms server, and can join other servers, just not each other.

I've changed my NAT type to open, and port forwarded all the required ports for the Xbox app. Still nothing.

I've tried using a VPN to several different countries but still has the same results.

We are both using Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition.

We have both uninstalled and reinstalled Minecraft, no luck.

    Seriously?! The guy made threats and complaints were made. They have to do something about it.

    Quit whining that a volunteer moderator did what they are supposed to do for free on their own time.

    And quit going further off topic.  Add useful info here, add complaints to the feedback button.

    So a volunteer moderator can reply to his problem but a dev or somebody who knows how to fix this bug can't? Seems legit.

    Absolutely, answers.microsoft.com is a place to vent frustrations when the game you paid for does not work as advertised. Then to remind you how to properly vent said frustration in accordance the code of content. Not to actually present the solution to the problem because we do not really know what to do. So just continue the play the game and hope the problem will self correct until a new game becomes more interesting. At which point you stop playing this one and repeat the cycle on the next. Thank you for your time, understanding, money and remember to shop SMART shop S-Mart!
