Can’t get out of minecraft beta test

And don't you worry about Minecraft beta, there isn't much that gets added on to it besides it being a few versions newer. Betas are for people to test, not entirely enjoy (Unless if you are me who enjoys testing beta games)

minecraft doesn't give me the option to update and i can't get out of beta does anybody know how to fix it?

This forum is for those Insiders testing future beta releases of Windows 10 and is not a support site for Minecraft. Their support site is at: https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us

If you have xbox insider, check if you have entered the minecraft beta programm, if you, get out of the beta and reinstal minecraft

Before I do that, I was wondering if it has anything to do with the account. I’ve heard people say this happened because of Minecraft beta. I’ve already unlisted from beta but I can’t check anymore since the insider hub app won’t install like Minecraft.

Your son is playing on the official release channel for Minecraft. His 1.12 version is currently the latest official version, whereas his friends have joined the Insider Program and are playing a beta test version of Minecraft.

His friends can either un-enroll from the Beta Insider Program, or you son can try to join the Insider Program and update his Minecraft to a beta version.

Be aware however, that beta version still contain untested parts, and the game can crash, malfunction and in turn destroy worlds if an error occurs.

If your son is still willing to test the Beta, he can download the free Insider app from the store, and join the Minecraft Beta.

Then he'll have to download/update his Minecraft to the newer beta version.
