Minecraft transferred to MS account but doesn't launch

Skyapp · Feb 10, 2022

I had a JAVA version of minecraft, but it wasn't installed on my new PC. I got an email to transfer minecraft from Mojang to a MS account, and did so, but now I can't install or launch it. It shows up in recently installed, but errors when I try to launch it.

"Minecraft Launcher is currently not available in your account. Make sure you are signed in to the Microsoft Store and try again. Here's the error code, in case you need it: 0x803F8001"

When I go to the store, I see it but the play button brings up the same error.

I am logged in to the Microsoft Store. It looks like I have it, but it doesn't play. How can I install minecraft?

Forget it, I pressed on the get button and it updated it and installed it. Shouldn't the get button be install or download? Awful!

Hi Skyapp! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

You see the play button because has been installed but you need to press on get to have the launcher available in your account, the gane and the launcher are 2 separate software

We already got the Microsoft account that was linked to Minecraft account back... It's Minecraft says she doesn't own it. That's why we think the hacker transferred it.

Are you kidding me? Im surprised they didn't charge your account for asking this silly question.

NONE of your XBLA games will transfer over. Minecraft is an XBLA game. MS is apparently run by Scrooge Mcduck. So......
