  1. Why can't I open Minecraft Launcher


    I'm trying to open Minecraft Launcher and everytime I get hit with:

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

    I've tried googling it, and none of the solutions worked.

    :)

    I can't open minecraft launcher.

    Hi CB242023, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I am sorry to hear that.

    Please, reset the store:

    Press the Windows key +R

    Type WSReset.exe and press Enter.

    Restart your PC.

    Then, repair the XBOX app installation:

    Press the Windows Key+X > Select Apps > Search for XBOX > click the three dots ... > Advanced > Restore

    Then, on the same page, press Repair.

    After that, please, download the Gaming Services Repair tool:

    https://aka.ms/GamingRepairTool

    Once downloaded, execute the file by right-clicking on it and selecting Run as Administrator.

    Follow the prompts and check if the issue was resolved.

    Let me know if it works!

    I can't open Minecraft launcher.

    Hi Alice Mets,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    The common reasons for Minecraft launcher not opening can be due to storage cache, virus infection, corrupted system files, incomplete updates, registry issues, etc. Therefore, it is very important to check for 0x803F8001 occurrences. You can try the following methods:

    1. Uninstall third-party apps.

      If you have recently installed freeware and have just started facing Windows Store error 0x803F8001, it is possible that the third-party applications you have downloaded are negatively affecting the performance of your PC. You can uninstall the recently installed third-party application and see if it opens.
    2. Check for license issues.

      Sometimes reinstalling an app can fix the license issue. You can try uninstalling the Minecraft launcher and then reinstalling it.
    3. Remove cache from Windows App Store

      Make sure that the account you are using is signed in to the Windows Store. If you have never cleared your Windows Store cache, then this could be the core of the problem. So, try the following steps:
    • Click Win key + R, type WSReset.exe in the Run dialog box and press Enter.
    • When the Command Prompt and Windows App Store window opens in tandem, it indicates that the cache has been removed.
    • Then restart your PC, open Microsoft Store and try to download/update it.

    If the above methods do not solve your problem, you can click this link to contact Minecraft technical support.
