New Minecraft launcher, and the countless problems with it.

Hi there yoyjux welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. I suggest you try these basic troubleshooting steps!

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

Click Check for Updates;

Click the Download and Install Now option, if available;

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

Then try this:

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

After that, click repair and then restore, open the app and try again.

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 restore, open the app and try again.

If it still doesn't work you're going to uninstall the games services using a powershell command, then you're going to open the gamepass app, it will ask you to download and install the game services again :

In the windows search bar type Powershell > Right click and select open as administrator > Type the command: "get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-Appxpackage –allusers" > Wait for the process to finish and then restart the PC, then open your Xbox gamepass app, it will ask you to install the gaming services again, install it and try again.

I don't use proxy or VPN.

I have the old Minecraft Launcher ( the one that doesn't have Microsoft Windows 10 in it ) but i don't have the new launcher that has all of the 3 minecraft versions and that is the one I want to download from Microsoft Store.

As for unofficial Minecraft Launchers, I have Lunar Client and Badlion Client, but I don't use them.

Anyways, I just restarted and the problem still exists.

Hello Happy_AlexRO, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

Please try the following procedure to see if it solves your Minecraft problem:

First of all, if you have any Minecraft Launcher installed, please uninstall it completely from your PC.

https://www.xbox.com/games/store/minecraft-launcher/9PGW18NPBZV5

Install the new Minecraft Launcher that can be downloaded from the Xbox app. Said Launcher corrects most of the problems.

It is recommended that you install it on the same storage unit where you have your Windows installed. It weighs approximately 10 MB so it won't take up much memory, don't worry.

Launch the Minecraft Launcher you just installed from the Xbox app, then sign in with the Microsoft account you purchased the game with or the account you migrated it to.

Best regards.

Also, there is another problem.

Sometimes, when I try to install Minecraft Launcher from Microsoft Store, and then ( the problem happens ), it causes problems too when I try to download other apps, they get the same problem ( Loading then Ending with a problem " Try again Later, Something happened on our end ". That happened with me twice, but I did reset to Microsoft Store and then it got fixed ( except the Minecraft Launcher ). Yesterday, while I was trying to install the game without having the other Minecraft Launchers, Minecraft Launcher's problem wasn't solved and also, and then when I tried to download some other app, the problem of the slow download was back again, then when I tried to do reset Microsoft Store for another time, it wasn't fixing anything.

Is there any way to fix that Minecraft Launcher's problem? I think it's influencing badly on other apps.
