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.

    Why would a game targeted twords children have such a ridiculous and complicated fix to a bug.

    Yeah no, this did mot work sadly.  I'm trying to connect to my sister's phone from PC. I wish she would get java! ;) She doesn't have a PC though, so that's not happening anytime soon. Anyways, if you can think of why this is happening that would be great! No worries if you can't though.

    Thanks!

    Unfortunately the problem continues to go without a damn solution. I recently downloaded the game again to see if it would work but i did so with no luck. This should not be a problem in this day and age. Especially without a solution.

    Hello, I am having a similar issue. Only I’m playing minecraft Xbox One bedrock edition, and my friend is playing minecraft windows ten edition. Whenever we try joining each other it says “Unable to connect to world”. I’ve made sure we’re both on the same version, and made sure my privacy settings are set to enable cross-play. Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
