Hi J. D, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

I am sorry to hear that.

There was an issue with the Mojang Servers causing this error, but it was fixed earlier today.

You can try a few troubleshooting steps that have worked for some players.

Please, reset the store and try installing the game again.

To Reset the Store, Press the Windows Key + R > Type WSReset.exe and press Enter.

Then, on the Microsoft Store, type your game name: "Minecraft".

Close the store and reopen it.

Load the game page and click on "Install".

If it still does work, please, look for the purchase in your Transaction History.

Sign in here:

Then, copy the order number and contact Xbox Support.

If you don't find it, you can still contact support, but having the order number will help with your chat with support.

Then, follow these steps:

Type in your query: "Agent"

Click on Get Help.

Scroll down the page and click on Contact Support.

Select your "Other Products" and "Billing and Account Profile Questions" > Confirm.

Select "Chat with a support agent in your web browser" > Confirm > Start Chat.

I hope this helps.

Sorry for taking so long to reply. I have searched Minecraft for Windows on the store and all it comes up with is "Minecraft for Windows Starter Collection" and "Minecraft for Windows + Launcher" I do not own the starter collection, as I am redirected to pay £25 pounds when I click on it, and the Minecraft for Windows + Launcher simply takes me to the launcher when i click play.

I have migrated to a Microsoft account but I also play and login though the Minecraft launcher but how will I check for the spyware or a virus?

Hello, I'm Felipe and I'm an independent Community Advisor, and I'll do my best to help you.

After researching the issue, it seems that the Minecraft launcher is designed to check for and apply any available updates each time the launcher is opened. However, there are a couple of potential workarounds that may help:

1. Use the "Play Offline" feature: When the launcher opens, click on the "Play Offline" button in the lower-left corner. This should allow you to bypass the update check and play Minecraft on the last version you played.

2. Use OptiFine: OptiFine is a mod that includes its own Minecraft launcher. By using OptiFine to launch Minecraft, you can avoid the Minecraft launcher altogether and play on the version of Minecraft that OptiFine is currently set to.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
