    Cannot install Minecraft Launcher, Bedrock


    When I try to install Minecraft Bedrock, "Minecraft for Windows standalone", or Minecraft Launcher I get various errors:

    • Error 0xc0ea000a
    • Error 0x80004005
    • etc
    • etc

    I have followed many, many guides trying to fix this: Things I have done:

    • Reinstalled Windows 11
    • Followed this guide, and many others like it:
    "First, see if Windows is updated:
    Open Settings > Update and security > Windows Update > Check for updates. Install all optional updates too.

    After that, please uninstall any Minecraft Launcher or any Minecraft Edition you have on your computer. Then:

    - Go to start > Search for PowerShell > Right click > Run as administrator. Type the following command and press enter:

    get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers

    - Press Windows + R and type in "regedit". Press enter.

    - Search for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services

    - Delete the folders "GamingServices", "GamingServices.net" (if they're still there).

    - Go to Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features > Microsoft Store > Advanced Options > Reset.

    - Go to Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features > Xbox App > Advanced Options > Reset.

    - Press Windows + R. Type TEMP and press enter. Delete all the files inside this folder. Repeat this step by typing %TEMP% and Prefetch. Delete everything on both folders too.

    - Press Windows + R. Type WSRESET and press enter.

    - Delete the cache folder at:
    C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.XboxIdentityProvider_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\TokenBroker

    - Also delete Microsoft Store local cache files at:
    C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe

    - Restart your computer. Run Powershell as administrator and run the following commands (one at a time):

    Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

    - Install the app on that page and select Yes when you receive the User Account Control (UAC) prompt.

    - Restart your computer one more time. Open the Xbox App and sign in with the same account as the Microsoft store. If you are able to try to install Minecraft on an external HD for testing purposes, please do it. If not, try to install it on your default hard drive and let me know how it goes. "

    • I have purchased a new and changed my Windows Key
    • and followed numerous YouTube guides with varying steps
    • Installed the Legacy Minecraft Launcher to try to get Java working - This also does not work

    Nothing has so far resulted in being able to fix this issue, I appreciate if anyone finds a method to at least get the games I supposedly own installed and running

    :)

    i just bought minecraft java and bedrock i can play bedrock but when i try and play java it says buy now but when i click it says already owned and it wont let me download it what do i do?

    Hello Georgina, my name is Zahir.

    I would assume you are trying to download on a windows pc.

    You will have to install the minecraft launcher first.

    To play Minecraft: Java Edition, download and install the correct launcher for your operating system. Sign into the Launcher using your Microsoft account, and you will be able to run Java Edition.

    To play Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, you will need a device running Windows 10 or 11 to download and install the newest version of the Launcher, within which you can launch and play Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. Sign into the Launcher using your Microsoft account, and you will be able to run Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.

    minecraft for windows 10 not starting installation, just says 'waiting for installation'

    Thank you for the information. Are you trying to install the Minecraft Java Edition or the Minecraft Bedrock Edition?

    If you're trying to install the Bedrock Edition, try to install the game itself without using the Launcher. Simply search Minecraft for Windows on Xbox app or Microsoft Store.

    You could as well try to install the Launcher from the web here https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download

    CAN'T PLAY MINECRAFT BEDROCK EDITION for windows

    I have the same issue. It would not update to version 1.19.1, so I uninstalled Minecraft. I then installed the launcher. I cannot install Minecraft for Windows (Bedrock). I have reinstalled the launcher, yet after I click the Install button, it asks for my path. I choose Default and then OK or whatever. The Play button does nothing now and there is no download progress bar, so not only cannot I not play the new update. I cannot play the game at all. I cross play with other systems and now I cannot do that. I am really disappointed with the rollout.

    Minecraft Launcher

    Hello,

    Just to be clear you're having installation issues with the Minecraft Launcher, not any of the Minecraft Products such as Java edition, Bedrock Edition or Minecraft Dungeons?

    Thanks,

    Hey I claimed minecraft in 2019 long ago but now I can't play it says I don't own it why pls fix

    Hello sir I am a Xbox Ambassador and gamer. I'll be happy to help on your case.

    Please make sure that you are using the account you bought Minecraft: Bedrock Edition with. Log into that account, then download the new launcher for Minecraft (links below). It is a all-in-one launcher for Minecraft: Java, Minecraft: Bedrock, Minecraft Dungeons, and the upcoming Minecraft Legends.

    Once you download the launcher, select Microsoft login, and log into the same Microsoft account that you bought Minecraft: Bedrock with. Then, click Minecraft for Windows, and click "Install" or "Play"

    I hope your problem is solved, and if it is, please kindly mark this thread as answered and give my reply an upvote. Have a nice day!
