error 80070490 when installing minecraft on Windows 11

Hello, cptkirkhtx. I'm Arturo, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

However, I find it appropriate to ask some questions:

— Does a similar error occur when trying to install another game or app?

— Is your PC using Windows 10 or 11?

— Are you trying to install the launcher via the Microsoft Store?
If that's correct, please download the Xbox app on your PC and try installing the launcher from there.

— What potential solutions have you tried to solve this issue?
Please describe each one.

I'll remain attentive to your answers.

Regards,

Arturo.

That's odd. When you installed Windows 11, did you upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 or did you do a clean install with Windows 11?

Hello Marcoantoni184,

Thank you for your post! I understand you are experiencing an issue with your Xbox One producing the error code: 0x80070490. To troubleshoot this, please check out this article: Error

I hope this helps!

I am having a similar issue. Have been trying to figure out a solution for weeks now. So, I go to the minecraft page for the java download. I attempt to purchase the game. It logs me into my microsoft account. It then presents a box allowing me to download Minecraft for either Windows 10/11 or Windows 7/8. I am running Windows 11 so choose accordingly. It downloads the appropriate installer. I then attempt to open that file and am immediately presented with the error code box that was reported at the start of this thread. The installer does open in the background and if I close the error code message box, I can click the check box to accept the terms/conditions in the installer. The installer then looks like it is beginning the install but the progress bar never moves.

Any help would be appreciated! As it stands now, I am unable to install Minecraft Java so there is no uninstall that is needed as it currently isn't installed on my machine.

Cheers

Same, freshly installed Windows 11, only app is the regular Valorant client. Other Xbox games like Minecraft install fine.
