Minecraft Bedrock launcher stuck on idle, won't show up in MS.

Alex Wat. · Oct 5, 2023

Hi! So my Minecraft Bedrock launcher used to work, but I tried reinstalling it because there was an issue with it. My Java edition works just fine.

Upon reinstalling it in my C: Drive, every time I try to install the Bedrock version, it says "Idle - See Windows Store Library for more details". When I open the Microsoft Store, nothing pops up as needing an installation or resuming a download. I've updated everything on my computer and in the Microsoft store: system updates, drivers, applications, you name it. I've tried removing the Minecraft folders using the %Appdata% function and uninstalling them numerous times, as well as repairing and resetting the Microsoft Store with no resolution. I tried downloading it from the minecraft.net website and through the MS itself. I even tried contacting Minecraft support twice, but none of the information they gave me was useful. I need this fixed.

Same issue on my end too.

I was able to install the latest preview but, it doesn't help if your trying to play with friends.
I have also noticed a increase in the shuddering issue with Bedrock with the newer versions, this is not due to bad hardware, being each tested machine out preforms the needs of the games played on them. LMK if someone finds a fix please.
