    Hi Crypty,

    Thanks for coming to the forums with the issue. This happens a lot with game pass games. If you own it, uninstall the game as it is registering the game pass license. It will then show in your ready to install under my games and apps. You can then install
    it from there.

    Thanks,

    Brad

    Make sure xbox live services are working good because sometimes when it has issues assuming its digital it can make it annoying inaccessible if your account isnt homed to your console

    Hi there,

    please try the manual power cycle steps like mentioned on the following link, be sure to wait at least 60 seconds before powering on again:

    http://support.xbox.com/xbox-one/console/power-cycle-console


    If that failes then you might want to try the following

    please double check
    http://account.microsoft.com/services
    to see if all is fine there

    If the subscription shows, try the following steps

    1. Remove profile from the console (Make sure you know the account credentials for the account, since you will need them later)
    2. Perform the manual power cycle steps like mentioned before
    3. Redownload your profile
    If these steps fail, then its best to contact Xbox Support (via Phone or Microsoft Support Chat) at
    http://support.xbox.com/contact-us

    Let us know the results

    Minecraft on PC after buying Xbox One version?

    Years ago I bought the Xbox version of Minecraft. Now I have Game Pass Ultimate & its not on PC version of the pass & never bought the PC version on any storefront. Now when I look at Windows 10 store it says Install or Buy to Own. Do I have Minecraft
    on PC or not? I dont wanna buy the game again if I already own it on PC, especially when I already own it on console.
