    Minecraft Refuses to Launch Following October 5th Performance Update - Error 0x803f8001


    Good afternoon,

    I am on an Xbox One X. I updated Minecraft a few days ago without issue. I did not uninstall the game while it was updating or otherwise interrupt the update process. I am aware of the article on the performance update located here. Once the update process was successfully completed, when I attempted to launch Minecraft I received Error 0x803f8001. In an attempt to resolve this error message, I completed the following recommended steps suggested by support articles and support personnel:



    1. Power cycled and reset my console
    2. Unplugged my console from power entirely for 5 minutes and reset
    3. Reset my router
    4. Removed my Microsoft Account from the Xbox and re-added it
    5. Uninstalled Minecraft and Reinstalled it (notably, the game does not appear in My Games & Apps after the update…I have to navigate to Minecraft in the MS Store, which tells me “You Own This,” and allows me to reinstall)
    6. Performed a factory reset of my console

    None of these actions have resolved this issue, and I still receive Error 0x803f8001 every time I attempt to start the game. I have owned the game on this account for many years. No other game or app has any issues; it is only Minecraft that is affected.



    I believe this is some sort of strange technical issue where the MS Store no longer thinks I own the product for purposes of launching it for some reason. If this is a known issue, please let me know, and I will simply await a patch. However, I have not seen anyone else describing this issue in my searching online, and thus wanted to be 100% certain it was not something on my end.



    Thank you.

    :)

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this II.

    This can be a bit odd, but may I know if you tried to install Minecraft remotely using the xbox.com website?

    https://www.xbox.com/games/store/minecraft/9MVX...

    If maybe that doesn't work, can you try using a different wifi network just to see if the issue persists?
    If possible you can try sharing mobile data via wifi hotspot. Connect your console and try in that way

    Hi, this can be a bit odd.
    But try changing your language and location to English (US) - United States (or English UK - United Kingdom) and try again once restarted the console
    Josef,

    Thank you. This finally resolved the issue.

    Thank you for the reply, Josef.

    Unfortunately, this did not resolve my issue.

    I installed Minecraft via the Xbox Store as you suggested on a completely different wifi network to a completely different console.

    The game installs and updates without issue, but upon attempting to launch I am still met with an 0x803f8001 error.
