I could not find and download Minecraft Windows 10 Edition in the Microsoft Store app.

Edit: didn't work on downloading the minecraft launcher

No problem, let's try this in that case:

First uninstall actual minecraft launcher.

Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;

Click Check for Updates;

Click the Download and Install Now option, if available (Install optional updates as well)

Also, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services and update everything too.

Now, sign out from your account on both Xbox app and Microsoft Store and do this:

Go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.

After that, click repair and then reset

Then do the same for the Xbox app:

Go to windows settings > apps > search for Xbox app > click on it and select advanced options.

After that, click repair and then reset

Finally do this:

Step 1: Open the Run window by pressing Windows + R key.

Step 2: Input WSReset.exe in the Run window and click OK.

Step 3: Then a command prompt window will appear. After a few seconds, Windows Store will open.

Sign in again on both Microsoft store and Xbox app with your account and install minecraft launcher

If the issue persists let's try instead download and install the Launcher marked as Windows 7/8 from this page - https://minecraft.net/download
Just to double check if the issue is with any minecraft launcher

Keep me posted

Hey DusanTutunovic,

The Java copy of Minecraft can only be obtained by downloading the launcher Here.

The MICROSOFT store will only have the 'Windows 10 Edition'

Please fully uninstall all Minecraft apps, launchers, files. After you do this, download the launcher I linked above.

Have you installed the correct version of it?

There are quite a lot of different versions of it, which could be confusing:

• The Minecraft Dungeons launcher version: You need the minecraft dungeons launcher to play it. You can't use the other versions.
• The Windows 10 / Microsoft Store version: You need to open the microsoft store app and download it from there. The other versions can't be used.
• The Xbox One Version: Won't show the download button if you're on the computer, which can be confusing.
