I can't install minecraft from my launcher

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

First check if windows 10 is up to date. Make sure your time and date are correct on your windows settings.

There is an "Optional Updates" button in the smallest print. Kindly check and go to driver, and download the existing drivers needed. Then restart, plug in the Receiver. Go to the same optional updates, and updated the driver.

Make sure that this is turned on "Receive updates for other Microsoft products when you update Windows" under Advanced Options

Check for store updates: Start menu, select Microsoft Store > More > Downloads and updates > Get updates.

If Updating the system doesn't help, I'll suggest you run a scan to check for problems and repair them.

Press Windows + R, type cmd, and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to run Command Prompt as administrator. Next type sfc /scannow in Command Prompt window, and press Enter to start to scan and repair corrupt system files in Windows 10.

Thank you for your help, however I am currently unable to access the minecraft launcher (it can't be opened/launched, is still showing up in the windows search bar, cannot be uninstalled).

Every time I try to download it again from other places (microsoft store application, minecraft installer application, minecraft launcher from the xbox store), I get an error and it tells me it is unable to install

Hey,

This is not about the website, this happens only when I start minecraft launcher;

I get the screen asking me to choose an account I already logged on or another account

When I select my microsoft account it displays the error I mentioned.

Also if that can help identify the problem, I installed the minecraft launcher from minecraft.net as the one from microsoft store doesn't work as well. (sais it can't update the launcher)

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

Please install the Xbox app and the Minecraft launcher from the Microsoft store app instead from the installer you used

Log first on the Xbox app then try to log in the new installation of the Minecraft launcher

Hello Happy_AlexRO, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

Please try the following procedure to see if it solves your Minecraft problem:

First of all, if you have any Minecraft Launcher installed, please uninstall it completely from your PC.

Install the new Minecraft Launcher that can be downloaded from the Xbox app. Said Launcher corrects most of the problems.

It is recommended that you install it on the same storage unit where you have your Windows installed. It weighs approximately 10 MB so it won't take up much memory, don't worry.

Launch the Minecraft Launcher you just installed from the Xbox app, then sign in with the Microsoft account you purchased the game with or the account you migrated it to.

Best regards.
