Can't Connect to a Friend in Minecraft Windows 10 Edition

As of today, I am unable to connect to a friend of mine in Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition.

I have never had this issue before.

There are 4 other people in, that have joined through the Xbox app on Windows 10.

Any help is appreciated, minus anything related to unfriending, and firewalls; already tried those.

Hi there!

Thanks for reaching out to us in the forums for this issue. Sorry to hear that you're unable to connect to a buddy in Minecraft. Its possible that you're unable to connect with your other friend due to a NAT type issue on their end, since you've successfully been able to connect with others on your end. However, you did say that there are already 4 others in there with you and with Minecraft: Windows 10 edition, you'd be limited to playing with 4 others online (or locally) unless you are subscribers of Minecraft Realms (this allows up to 10).

For a bit more info regarding that, I recommend the following articles:

I hope that this helps out!
