Hello, my name is Marvina, I will be happy to help you.

Uninstall and reinstall Windows updates. Open the Settings app. Select "Update & Security." Select "Windows Update." Click "View update history." Select the updates you want to uninstall. Click "Uninstall." Once you have uninstalled the updates, restart your PC. Then try installing the updates again.

Additional solutions

If you have tried all the steps above and are still having problems, you can try the following steps:

Activate compatibility mode. Open the Microsoft Store app. Search Minecraft Bedrock. Right-click Minecraft Bedrock and select "Properties." Select the "Compatibility" tab.

Check the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" box. Select a previous version of Windows. Click the "Apply" button and then click the "OK" button.

Disable Windows Firewall. Open Windows Defender Firewall. Click "Activation and administration." Click "Temporarily disable Windows Defender firewall." Select "Private network" and "Public network." Click the "OK" button.

Disable antivirus. If you have an antivirus installed, temporarily disable it.

I hope this information is useful to you, if so, let me know.

Sincerely,
Marvina.

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

Do you have the game from game pass or you purchased the game? We need to validate your license for the game first.

If you were able to obtain the game through game pass kindly check if it’s still active. Sign in to https://account.microsoft.com/services. Once confirmed sign out both on Microsoft Store app as well as Xbox App and then quit and re-launch the apps before launching the game Minecraft.

If you purchased the game sign in to https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders and check if you can see the game order from there stated as “completed”

sorry - should have added: I have Version 6.3 (Build 9600) of Windows 8.1. The error message I keep getting from the app says "this app can't open. Check the Windows Store for more information." The Store keeps saying the app is already installed.

Click Check for Updates

Click the Download and Install Now option, if available (Install optional updates as well)

Now, sign out from your account on both Xbox app and Microsoft Store and do this:
