Windows 10: Xbox Companion App barely functions.

I tried using the Xbox Companion App on my new laptop running Windows 10 in order to play multiplayer games with friends. After making an account and adding friends without trouble, it started throwing errors when I tried to check my connection or join a chat. Based on what I see when I check my connection or try to join a chat, my NAT type and Server Connectivity vary wildly, and if they're ever both usable, it never lasts for more than 30 seconds before they cut out entirely.


I looked through all of the recommended fixes linked in-app, and tried every single one, probably twice over. I've looked for youtube videos as well, but nobody else seems to have the exact problem I am. Every other case I see involves the connection simply not working at all, whereas mine feels like spotty wi-fi (regardless of how good the actual wi-fi connection is).


Early on I kept finding problems that needed fixing and could have been the source of the initial symptom, such as updates getting backed up and firewall settings not being correct. However, I've gone through and fixed them all and I still can't connect to the Xbox Companion servers. I can't find any other leads as to what could be causing these connectivity problems.
