I can't download Minecraft on Windows 11

Hi Yakov! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

There are some things you could try, first go to PC settings and in the Windows update section check for updates, install any pending update, even the optionals

After that do the same on Microsoft store app, go to the library section and select get updates

You can download the Minecraft launcher from the Microsoft store app, log in there with the account that owns the game

If possible share a screenshot of where it stays as pending only please

It did not help, as i said I am not using the Minecraft store version but this one : https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download

I am also using windows 11.

Windows 11. And I uninstalled the Minecraft app itself

Windows 11 And Only Minecraft dungeons

Hello, Jada. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

So you purchased Minecraft for Windows, right? Have you tried to install it through the Xbox app too? Please try it and see how it goes.

If you cannot install it from the Xbox app too, please follow the steps below:

- Go to start > Search for PowerShell > Right click > Run as administrator. Type the following command and press enter:

get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers

- Press Windows + R and type in "regedit". Press enter.

- Search for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services

- Delete the folders "GamingServices", "GamingServices.net" (if they're still there).

- Go to Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features > Microsoft Store > Advanced Options > Reset.

- Go to Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features > Xbox App > Advanced Options > Reset.

- Press Windows + R. Type TEMP and press enter. Delete all the files inside this folder. Repeat this step by typing %TEMP% and Prefetch. Delete everything on both folders too.

- Press Windows + R. Type WSRESET and press enter.

- Delete the cache folder at:

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.XboxIdentityProvider_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\TokenBroker

- Also delete Microsoft Store local cache files at:

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe

- Restart your computer. Run Powershell as administrator and run the following commands (one at a time):

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

- Restart your computer one more time. Open the Microsoft store and sign in. Then, open the Xbox app and make sure you are signed in with the same account as the store. Try to install Minecraft for Windows from it and let me know how it goes.

If the issue persists, please tell me if you receive any error code at all and if you are running Windows 10 or 11. I'm waiting for your feedback on this.
