I can't download minecraft on my laptop

Hey EighteenMaple32 how are you today? Hope you're well.

So, the Minecraft has different versions for PC and consoles. They're not the same version, if you bought the xbox version it will not work on your PC, you'll have to buy the windows 10 version or java, to play on PC. :/ What you could do is ask for the refund for the Xbox One version and then, purchase the windows 10 version.

Click on the link, and then, click on Sign in (sign in with the account that you purchase the item that you want refund for)

Chose the item and click refund.

Hey ElizabethZavala1, how are you today? Hope you're well.

You're trying to download it on PC, right?

There are a couple of things we could try to solve this error.

So, let's try this, first, make sure your windows and all its services are up to date:

Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;

Click Check for Updates;

Click the Download and Install Now option, if available;

Also, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services.

______________________________________________________________

Then try this:

Go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.

After that, click repair and then restore, open the app and try again.

Then do the same for the Xbox app:

Go to windows settings > apps > search for Xbox app > click on it and select advanced options.

After that, click repair and then restore, open the app and try again.

______________________________________________________________

Then, try to uninstall and install the Xbox app.

______________________________________________________________

If it still doesn't work you're going to uninstall the games services using a powershell command, then you're going to open the gamepass app, it will ask you to download and install the game services again :

In the windows search bar type Powershell > Right click and select open as administrator > Type the command: "get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-Appxpackage –allusers" > Wait for the process to finish and then restart the PC, then open your Xbox gamepass app, it will ask you to install the gaming services again, install it and try again.

______________________________________________________________

If neither of those procedures works, try to restore your PC's OS via the ISO image tool, using that tool you will be able to maintain your installed games and files.

it is not a play anywhere title, you have to purchase a copy for each platform you wish to play this game on

Im having a similar issue. I purchased Minecraft for windows 10 on my desktop so i could play with my friend who has a switch. Im now in college with a laptop and when i go into the same Microsoft account it is not in my library. however a game like Forza
Horizon 4 is? i went to the Xbox companion app and indeed it shows when i last played Minecraft for windows 10 as this Microsoft account but i can't download it on this laptop.

The thing is, that minecraft realms is on 1.19.20. So with 1.19.10 I cannot join realms. I can't understand why I cannot get the .20 version. On my laptop I don't have this problem at all. Even uninstalling, and downloading the game via the latest launcher does not help.
