Windows 10: I cannot join Xbox parties from my desktop

I've never been able to really participate in Xbox voice parties with all of my friends. I don't own an Xbox, but I made an account a while back for a game I can't remember now. I set it up with no parental controls, no settings limiting the ability to communicate. Everything is as it should be. My phone's Xbox app will connect just fine, so I know it isn't my account.

My Desktop of less than a year will not let me do this. The Xbox app doesn't even work right. Same with the Game Bar. It won't show notifications when I get invited to a party, or group chat, etc. Yes, the settings are on to do so. And when I go to someone's profile, and scroll down to see the party section that says "N people in a public party" and has the Join button under that, I click the join and it acts as if it does, but it just shows the menu where you can create a group post or party. Also, it will not let me create a party.


If someone could help, that would be great! This has been bothering me for months.

0x80010108 Error When Joining Parties on Xbox App (Windows 10)

Hi,

The error code 0x80010108 may occur due to several reasons. It can possibly be due to an incorrect network configuration or an outdated Xbox App. To properly isolate your concern, please provide us the following information:

• Did the issue start after an update?
• Do you have an active Xbox Live Gold subscription?
• Is your computer connected via a wired or a wireless network?

In the meantime, we suggest that you check the NAT type on the Xbox App by following the steps below:

• Click the Start icon and open the Xbox app.
• Select Settings > Network.
• Under Network status, check the NAT type.

Make sure that the Xbox Live Service Status is up and running before joining the Xbox Live parties again. To check, you may visit this

Joining Xbox Live Parties Via Xbox App.

Hey Cody,

If your friend has already started the party it should show up on your friends list and you are able to click join. If not, you can also click on the party tab in the Xbox app and start your own party, and he will be able to join that.

I've added a screenshot of the party tab below:
