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.

Download this launcher https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/minecraf...

After setting it up, uninstall it. Then launch the launcher you had on your PC before.

I clicked launch Minecraft in the launcher that you provided and it does not open or download Minecraft launcher again. It's only possible to run the launcher with administrator and the file system errors.

Hello, profile_583980

Welcome to the Microsoft community.

Thank you for your feedback. I understand that you are experiencing issues with Minecraft not installing, here are some troubleshooting options:

Method 1:

Try turning off your computer using the power button to force a reset of your computer. Then wait ten seconds and press the button once more to turn it on. Now:

Try deleting the Xbox application and reinstalling it. Try to reinstall the gaming service by opening windows powershell in the search bar as administrator, select run as administrator and run the following command.

get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove AppxPackage -allusers

Run this and then in the same window run the following command;

start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

Install the app on this page and accept the pop up message by pressing ‘yes’.



Then restart your device and uninstall, then reinstall minecraft launcher, then attempt to launch.

Method 2:

This may happen when you switch devices or change regions.



To resolve this issue, you will need to contact Xbox Support. They will be able to help you update the Device ID on your license to match the Device ID on your new device.

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
