i was trying to download the windows 10/11 minecraft launcher but the error code :...

Please go to the Minecraft website and download the Windows 7/8 launcher. Try playing the game using it. The Windows 10 launcher is giving this error for some users.

https://minecraft.net/download

Make sure you sign in with the correct Microsoft Account used for the Migration.

Also, uninstall the current Windows 10/11 launcher before installing the Windows 7/8 launcher.

Thanks for sharing this information. Are you trying to play the Minecraft for Windows or the Java edition?

Are you using the Windows 10/11 launcher or the Windows 7/8 launcher?

And have you tried to open the Minecraft program from the Start menu instead of using the Launcher?

Waiting for your follow-up!

Hello Georgina, my name is Zahir.

I would assume you are trying to download on a windows pc.

You will have to install the minecraft launcher first.

To play Minecraft: Java Edition, download and install the correct launcher for your operating system. Sign into the Launcher using your Microsoft account, and you will be able to run Java Edition.

To play Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, you will need a device running Windows 10 or 11 to download and install the newest version of the Launcher, within which you can launch and play Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. Sign into the Launcher using your Microsoft account, and you will be able to run Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.

Hi, Jenna. I appreciate you trying the steps. If the issue still persists, it would be best to coordinate with Minecraft team again since it’s an issue with the launcher. The Minecraft launcher on MS store will only work on Windows 10 or 11. Sorry

Hello,
I am able to download other applications via the Microsoft Store however it is just Minecraft for Windows 10 which keeps failing, I have tried using the link you directed me to but that just brings me to the same place the Launcher is not the issue but the actual download for Minecraft for Windows 10 for Java Edition works perfect but the second I try to download Minecraft for Windows it brings up an error. I have downloaded the launcher from both minecraft.net and Microsoft Store but still come to the same issue error 0x80073D0D

For further information, a few months back I was playing Minecraft for Windows 10 when it unexpectedly crashed and suddenly removed itself from my computer since then I have been unable to locate it or even redownload it.
