Minecraft for Windows not updating

Jaden Mack · Apr 19, 2025

This has been happening for the past few years, and I've had to use a third-party software to update my Minecraft Bedrock application. Every time I try to update it, whether it's from the Microsoft store or the Minecraft Launcher itself, it just says "There has been an error" and a retry button. I kept pressing the retry button but it doesn't work.

Anyone have a solution?

Minecraft is allowed through the firewall. And this had been working just fine until the recent windows and minecraft updates.

Hi! I'm Rostom, an Independent Advisor. I will be glad to help you here.

Minecraft for Windows should update to the latest version automatically. If not, open Microsoft Store, select the three dots in the top right corner and choose “Downloads and updates”. From here, select “Get updates” and all your installed applications should update (including Minecraft).

Please make sure to also check for your Windows updates. Check the guide here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/upd...

Yes, I do mean 1.19.10. I figured that the zero technically didn't matter. My friends thought that they couldn't update anymore, but they actually did need to update. Thank you for that
