Hi there Onii C.

I am Lumie and I would love to assist you today.

I am so sorry you are having issues with your Minecraft Launcher.

Error Code 0x800704CF in Minecraft Launcher: Causes and Fixes
The error code 0x800704CF in the Minecraft Launcher is a common issue related to network connectivity. It typically means that the device is having trouble accessing the internet or connecting to the server.

Here are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

Check Your Internet Connection
Ensure that your device is connected to the internet.
Try opening a web page to verify if your internet is working properly.
Restart your router and modem to refresh the connection.

Verify Network Configuration
Go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings. Right-click your active network connection and choose Disable. Wait a few moments, then right-click it again and select Enable.
Open Command Prompt as an administrator and type:

ipconfig /flushdns

Disable Proxy Settings
Sometimes proxy settings can interfere with your connection. Disable them by going to Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy. Ensure that Use a proxy server is turned off.

Check Firewall and Antivirus
Your firewall or antivirus might be blocking the connection. Temporarily disable them to see if you can log in.
Add Minecraft Launcher to the allowed programs in your firewall settings:
Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Defender Firewall > Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall.
Ensure that both Public and Private boxes are checked for the Minecraft Launcher.

Update Network Drivers
Outdated or corrupt network drivers can cause connectivity issues. Update them by going to Device Manager, expanding Network adapters, right-clicking your network device, and selecting Update driver.

Check for Windows Updates
Ensure that your system is up-to-date. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for updates.

Reset Network Settings
Reset your network settings to default by going to Settings > Network & Internet > Status > Network reset.

Reinstall Minecraft Launcher
Uninstall the Minecraft Launcher from Settings > Apps.
Download the latest version from the official Minecraft website and install it.

Use a Different Network
Sometimes network restrictions or issues on your current network can cause this error. Try connecting your device to a different network, such as a mobile hotspot, and see if the problem persists.

Clear Minecraft Cache
Corrupted cache files can lead to connection issues. Delete the .minecraft folder in your user directory (usually located at C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming) but back up important data like saves and screenshots before doing this.

I hope this helps.

I shall be here for your response. -Lumie

I have the similar problem with the Minecraft launcher. I'm not signed into Minecraft so I cant remove an account. But on Xbox game bar I'm signed in and get the same error code, I tried clicking "use a different account" and signing in but I get error code 0x800704cf which means I'm not connected to the Internet but I am connected to the internet. If you can help that would be amazing.

No,i just bought Minecraft on the original site Minecraft.net and when i downloaded the minecraft launcher,i wanted to log in to play minecraft and i cant because it says : Unable to connect to Xbox Live at this moment. And i dont know why because the email and pass are correct.

Hello, Nor_711. I'm Arturo, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

However, I find it appropriate to ask some questions:

— Where are you from? Just your country.

— Does your physical location, Microsoft account region, and payment method the same?

These questions are asked because in order to purchase a content in a specific marketplace and despite being physically located in that country, you need to use a payment method billed and issued in the same country.

For example, if your Microsoft account region is the US, to purchase in the US marketplace you need a card from a bank in the US.

Please be aware that cards from other countries, even with international use enabled, will not be accepted.

So, the message you see about changing the store region appears because: (based on the previous example)
A. The card used is not from the US.
B. Your Microsoft account region is not set in the US.
C. You're not physically located in the US.

Furthermore, please refrain from sharing personal information, including email addresses, gamertags, etc.

As community users, we are not able to enter or check your account information, and everything we comment can be seen by anyone on the internet.

I'll look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Arturo.
