Windows 10: Can't be joined by friends in games

I am having a rather annoying issue.


It seems that for some reason I am able to join friends in their games, but people can't join me in my games except for my roommate!


For instance; I am able to join a friend in Dark Souls 3, but she can not join me. Besides that, invaders other players who want to harm you also never appear in my game. But my roommate is able to join my game!


Another example, a game called Raft has the same problem. I can join 2 of my friends, but when they try to join it just loads the UI of the game but for the rest it's a black screen and they can't do anything. haven't tried this one with my roommate cause he doesn't have this game


I have looked into:

- UPNP, which is working on the router and my pc.

- the svchost was blocked by Microsoft, but I have put it in the list of exceptions.

- After running sfc /scannow in CMD, it found some corrupt files. Those are supposedly fixed.

- Changing my IP to a dedicated one and opening NAT, this also didn't work

- Called Ziggo Internet provider to see if it might be an issue in the Router, tried some things but that didn't help either.

- Ran multiple antimalware programs and ran Windows Defender.

- Updated all the drivers.

- I currently have no other Antivirus program installed, just Windows Defender.


I am running out of ideas of what to do. Does anybody have any idea of what I could do?
