    Can't install minecraft for windows


    Ok, so my problem is that I cannot install Minecraft for windows 10 on my pc. whenever i go into the Minecraft launcher and try to install it there It lets me click "install" and choose a disk to install it, but won't actually install the game. when I try to install the game from the Microsoft store, the install button is just grayed out and I cannot click on it. There is a button below that says "Play" and it lets me click it, but just brings me to an error screen that says, "something went wrong on our side, try again later". I have tried everything that i can think of, including reinstalling everything form, the Microsoft store, the launcher. I have made sure my windows 10 is updated to the latest version and nothing seems to be working. If anyone can figure out what is going on here and help fix it, that would be amazing

    :)

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

    Hope you're doing great today Giovanna

    Let's try this first:

    Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;

    Click Check for Updates;

    Click the Download and Install Now option, if available (Install optional updates as well)

    Also, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services and update everything too.

    Now, sign out from your account on both Xbox app and Microsoft Store and do this:

    Go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.

    After that, click repair and then reset

    Then do the same for the Xbox app:

    Go to windows settings > apps > search for Xbox app > click on it and select advanced options.

    After that, click repair and then reset

    Finally do this:

    Step 1: Open the Run window by pressing Windows + R key.

    Step 2: Input WSReset.exe in the Run window and click OK.

    Step 3: Then a command prompt window will appear. After a few seconds, Windows Store will open.

    Sign in again on both Microsoft store and Xbox app with your account and install minecraft launcher

    -----

    If that doesn't work, proceed with this:

    Right-click the Windows Start button in the lower-left corner of the main screen, and then select Windows PowerShell (Admin).
    In the Administrator: Windows PowerShell screen, type the following command and press Enter:
    Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers

    In the same window, type the following commands and press Enter:
    Remove-Item -Path "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServices" -recurse

    Remove-Item -Path "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServicesNet" -recurse

    Restart your device.
    Start the Xbox application. You should see a blue banner with the following message: "This app needs an extra component. Gaming Services is needed for playing some games. Administrator approval required. Install"
    Select Install to reinstall Gaming Services.

    Finally try installing minecraft again via Xbox app
