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.

    maybe this will help:

    If you create a NAT rule select protocol UDP instead of TCP

    Well that was frustrating.

    connecting my PC to a microsoft surface tablet .

    I tried the stupid refresh the network settings, as per the helpful suggestion of the staff, even though I knew full well that would not help.

    Anyway. I got mine working.

    I went into settings/update & security/check for updates/ and then installed the most recent windows patch.

    I then did the same on the tablet that I was trying to connect to - and installed the same update.

    They then both connected.

    Stupid - because before this, they were both on the same version - but at least it works now.
