Can't install Minecraft + Windows Store stuck on 'getting ready'

Hi there! I'll be happy to assist you here.

Make sure to check for Windows updates and also Microsoft Store updates.

Check for Windows updates - https://support.microsoft.com/windows/update-wi...

Get updates from Microsoft Store - https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/g...

Make sure to restart your PC after downloading and installing updates.

Have you also tried to reinstall the Gaming Services app?

Reinstall the Gaming Services app on your Windows 10/11 device:
Select the Search icon on the taskbar, type powershell, right-click on Windows PowerShell, and then select Run as administrator.

In Windows PowerShell, type the following command and press Enter:

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

In the same window, type the following command and press Enter:

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 device and try to install the game again.

Once you buy a game of the store it should automatically download and install.

If you go to "May Games and Apps" there is a section there called something like "Ready to Install" it may be stuck in there, I've had it happen once or twice where a game gets stuck in the ready to install part.

The other thing to try is go to "My Games and Apps" and look at what games are actually on your system, it could be that it has installed but you missed it.

I am having same problem i own this game and it is in ready to install window but does nothing no matter how many times i hit insttall.

I purchased it not 10 hours ago. Plus other games wiill install

Hi JacksonSO! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

Please, log with the account that owns the game on the Microsoft store app and the Xbox app, then on the Xbox app look for Minecraft for windows 10 (not Minecraft launcher) then select install and choose the same installation path as the launcher

Hi IEnglish! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

You can try installing the game from the Xbox app or Microsoft store app directly by looking for Minecraft for windows instead of Minecraft launcher, you will need to install it on the same path than the launcher
