Problems installing Minecraft launcher on PC

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.

Hi again Loretta,

I dont know why there's no appears the three dots next to the button, but you tried the third option i gave you? try installing minecraft by the official page, or you dont want do that? if that so let me know to try solve your problem with the microsoft store

I will wait for you.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. When I tried the first option, there wasn't three dots to click on and select Manage. I took a screenshot to show you what I see.

I also tried option 2, and it downloaded the launcher again. However when I clicked on "Let's play" it gave me the same error code. So it didn't work.

Any other ideas?

Hello, Loretta my name is oskayra I am an independent advisor and player like you I hope I can help solve your problem today

The error code you're encountering (0x803F8001) usually refers to an issue with the Microsoft Store or the app package itself. While it's true that Minecraft now requires a Microsoft account and sometimes involves the Xbox app, it's still possible to install and play it on your PC without owning an Xbox.

Here's how you can try to install Minecraft on your PC without an Xbox:

Option 1: Using the Microsoft Store:

Open the Microsoft Store app on your PC.
Search for "Minecraft for Windows."
Click on "Install to..." It should say "You Own This" under the install button.
If it prompts you to install the Xbox app, you can cancel that action for now.
Instead, click on the three dots next to the "Install" button and choose "Manage."
Under "Install on," select your PC.
Click "Install" again.

Option 2: Using Minecraft.net:

Go to the official Minecraft website:

https://www.minecraft.net/.

Note: This is a non-Microsoft website. The page appears to be providing accurate, safe information. Watch out for ads on the site that may advertise products frequently classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.

Click on "Download for Windows."
Sign in with your Microsoft account that owns the game.
The Minecraft Launcher will download and install automatically.

I hope this helps! Don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions or need additional clarification.

You gave me 2 options and I tried both. Neither worked.
