Minecraft Bedrock Edition Keeps Closing When Opening

Durjoy Sen · Apr 19, 2025

Hello,

When I open Minecraft Bedrock edition on my PC, it loads up with the progress bar, then once its on the home screen it closes the application. I have installed both the windows version and the launcher to launch bedrock edition, and it seems to happen for both. Uninstalling one or the other version also has the same problem. However, Java works perfectly fine in the launcher. I installed the bedrock versions from both the Microsoft store and the Xbox store, both separate installations so both didn't exist at the same time. It happens for both.

When you try opening it immediately closes?
Is the Bedrock edition, right? Or Java?

Hi, Ziv. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

Please try the steps one at a time to resolve the issue.

Solution 1: Repair the Gaming Services app.

Please go to Settings > Apps > Apps Features. Select Gaming Services, then click Advanced options. Click the repair button, try launching the game again using the Xbox app and see if it works.

Solution 2: Uninstall and reinstall the Gaming Services App

Select the Search icon on the taskbar, type powershell, right-click on Windows PowerShell, and then select Run as administrator.

In Windows PowerShell, type the following command and press Enter:

get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers

In the same window, type the following command and press Enter:

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

Install the app on that page and select Yes when you receive the User Account Control (UAC) prompt.

Restart your device and try to install the game again.

Solution 3: Try to uninstall and reinstall the game.

Minecraft Launcher is the same thing as Minecraft Java! I have issue with Minecraft: Bedrock Edition (Not JAVA EDITION). Do you understand this?
When i installed Minecraft: Bedrock Edition on my laptop from Microsoft Store it has the latest version but when i installed Minecraft: Bedrock Edition at another device (PC) from Microsoft store it stuck on 1.17.10 version and don't updating to 1.17.41 version. This is Microsoft Store's problem, it doesn't updating my Minecraft to the last version on my PC.

P.S PC and laptop has Windows 10.
