I'm unable to install Minecraft Launcher from Microsoft Store.

Hello.

Recently, few days ago when I tried to open the new Minecraft Launcher, it redirected me to Xbox " Gaming Services " Page in microsoft store and game wasn't opening. However, the new launcher was working for me before this and Xbox Gaming Services is installed in my PC. I tried to reinstall Xbox Gaming Services, same problem. I also tried to reset it same problem too, I tried to reinstall Xbox Gaming Services using Windows Powershell but same problem too. I tried resetting and repairing microsoft store multiple times but also the problem continued to exist. Then, I tried to reinstall the game itself but after that, I couldn't install it again : In the Library Page, The Minecraft Launcher was loading for a long time and then it stops. While in the Minecraft Launcher page in the microsoft store, the install button wasn't working at all! The Minecraft Launcher wasn't also downloading in Xbox app, so I decided to reinstall it from Minecraft website. During the install, it wasn't loading at all and it ended with an error. I tried reinstalling both Xbox Gaming Services and Xbox, but Xbox download took very long time even though my internet connection is very good.

I don't know what's happening, I tried to install different apps but they were taking very long time and ending with an error too, now I can't install anything from Microsoft Store anymore. I tried downloading Adobe Lightroom and Netflix and the download speed became too much slow . I tried many solutions, resetting Microsoft Store many times, reinstalling it using Powershell but that doesn't change anything for me.

and Here are some screenshots for the problem.

started it more than 15 minutes ago and it hasn't even passed the 1 MB yet. However I usually download games at 3 MB/s.

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

Ok, I will try.

but as for number 1, I checked for updates today and I have the most recent update. And for 2 , my system does not meet the requirements.

I followed the steps, When I typed the " chkdsk " command it told me that it cannot run because the volume is in use by another process and it asked me to restart, so I restarted and then it started fixing the " C Disk " and then it finished but the problem wasn't fixed and nothing changed.

I would recommend you then to try to use the System File Checker and DISM to repair broken, corrupted or missing system files.

Go to Start > Search for Command Prompt > Right Click > Run as Administrator.

Run one command at a time:

sfc /scannow

chkdsk /r

chkdsk /f

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

Maybe one of the unofficial launchers corrupted some files. Let me know how it goes.

Did you receive the same error message?
