Microsoft Store and Minecraft Launcher

Thank you for the update. If you'll play Bedrock, you will have to use the launcher from Microsoft Store. Go to Microsoft Store or Xbox App, search and install Minecraft launcher.

Hello SquabbleWubble,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



We understand that you are trying to play Minecraft and you were having issues with the launcher and game. Let us check on this together and sort this out in timely manner for you to get back to gaming.



There are two ways to install Minecraft Launcher, first is through Microsoft Store (Minecraft Launcher) and second is through Minecraft website (Download Minecraft & Server Software | Minecraft). Since you have issues with Minecraft Launcher, we recommend your try to uninstall the launchers you have installed and make sure you are using the correct account on Microsoft Store.

Then, visit Minecraft website to check your account that should show no Buy now option for any of the game versions of Minecraft (Login | Minecraft).

Next, try to install the Minecraft Launcher from the Microsoft Store and see if issue persist.

The last resort is to download the launcher and install it from Minecraft website. See if issue persist for the game.

Hello, Noah. I’m Arturo, and I’ll be glad to provide some assistance with your concern today.

Please try the potential solution I’m going to share below:

Step 1. Sign out from the account that owns the game on the Minecraft launcher, the Microsoft store, and the Xbox app.

Step 2. Reset and repair the Microsoft Store and the Minecraft launcher:

-For the Microsoft store, press the Windows key + R > in the dialog box type wsreset.exe
Wait until the Microsoft store is open.

-For the Minecraft launcher, press the Windows key + I > Apps > Installed Apps > click the app and click advanced options (on Windows 11, click on more) > click reset and repair.

Step 3. Sign in with the account that owns Minecraft on the Microsoft Store, the Xbox app, finally, on the Minecraft launcher.
Try playing Minecraft bedrock edition.
