Windows 10: Solution to Xbox App Disconnecting Parties on Windows

First I should ask if anyone else is having issues with the Xbox App for Windows as whole or not. It seems cheaply made by software standards and I feel as though Microsoft just doesn't care enough because "Xbox is the place to be" something like that. Anyone.
Anyways, I encounter a really nasty bug when using the Xbox App in a party. My friends have since switched to playing a different game on the Box and unfortunately I do not have it yet, but I am not completely torn by that. I have known for quite some time that I can at least be in a party with them, but play my PC games and everyone is happy. Well, for the most part anyways. I, for one, are not happy with this app. It's 98% percent useful right now and the other 2% is obviously not. That 2% is probably most crucial, too. That 2% is my issue. Simply put: my issue is that I cannot minimize the Xbox App while in a party, otherwise I disconnect from the party and get an NAT error code. This is the code - 0x8923180B. I have done a bit of research and to my surprise nobody from Microsoft knows what is going on!!! Just kidding, that is not a surprise and seems pretty commonplace. Stuff is broken and errors created by developers so that those same developers know what to do when that error occurs and how to fix it. To say the least, Microsoft Support has no idea what the heck they are doing and obviously the devs didn't inform them of all error codes.
Moving on...
EDIT: In the middle of writing this, I found what was causing this error and how to fix it. Basically, the error is somehow mistaken by Microsoft for error code 0x89231806 and not 0x8923180B. Error code 0x89231806 refers to an NAT error for the Xbox console itself, not Windows PC. So, I am starting this discussion for the sole purpose of helping those figure this issue out in much more refined and easy to understand list of sorts.
1. Open the Settings app on your computer. (This method will work with desktops and laptops running Windows 10 and anything post-Creator's Update)
2. Once in Settings, find 'Apps', click on it and then find the itty-bitty search bar above and long list of apps/programs installed on your machine.
3. Search for "Xbox."
4. Click on "Xbox" and then find 'Advanced Settings' and click on that.
5. You should see 'App Permissions' as a column. Find 'Background Apps' and click the slider, if not already shaded a color meaning it is on.
6. Open your Xbox App, join a party, and minimize the app. It should still work and you should be still in your party with no issues.
REMINDER: DO NOT go to Microsoft with this issue. They will basically tell you that you're wrong and that the error and solution you're looking for pertains to an Xbox Live console issue. IT DOES NOT.
I owe thanks to @EarthLlama.
