Unable to Login into Minecraft Launcher with error code 0x800704CF

He Yuyang · Aug 6, 2023

I bought Minecraft today and can't log into minecraft launcher, where it keeps saying "You need internet for this" and gave me an error code of 0x800704CF. I did read the page https://support.xbox.com/zh-SG/help/errors/error-code-0x800704CF but nothing there worked. I am also using a VPN, where it gave the error code above after entering my pswd, but when I disconnect my VPN it doesn't even let me enter anything, with the error code 0x80190001. Does anyone have an idea of what I can do?

PS: I can login on any microsoft website with the same account

Hello He Y, my name is zahir, a independent advisor.

This problem is something we see alot. And not all the fixes work so there is not just one thing i can say to try.

Have you tried to disable the antivirus firewall, it could block new apps. Also try run as administrator.
Make sure the pc account and the minecraft account is the same.

If this still does not work. Please contact Mojang support and open a ticket, the devs can help yoi find a solution.

Kind regards
Zahir

I have the similar problem with the Minecraft launcher. I'm not signed into Minecraft so I cant remove an account. But on Xbox game bar I'm signed in and get the same error code, I tried clicking "use a different account" and signing in but I get error code 0x800704cf which means I'm not connected to the Internet but I am connected to the internet. If you can help that would be amazing.
