    Why can't I use Minecraft Launcher WITHOUT installing it on the Microsoft Store, and...


    Seriously, I know Microsoft wants to streamline their cross-platform capabilities, but this is so stupid. I can't even play Minecraft without the Xbox app working properly. The Xbox app is such a buggy, unstable mess that it's a hit-or-miss on whether or not I'll be able to play MC each time I boot up my computer.

    Why can't Microsoft just stop putting their hands into everything, and keep things independent of one another? It literally makes it harder to do anything when I need an internet connection on startup just to have Xbox work and allow me to play MC.

    :)

    Get your act together.

    why use the launcher, i use minecraft direct without the launcher, you have the option to install minecraft with or without launcher in the xbox app.

    Minecraft bedrock won't install with launcher

    Hello,

    I was having the same issue yesterday, I the following solution worked for me.

    In file explore i founI found the Minecraft launcher and deleted the folder.

    I then went to the Microsoft store and installed Minecraft for windows only, without the launcher. Once it was installed I could then install the launcher without issue and launch the game

    minecraft for windows 10 not starting installation, just says 'waiting for installation'

    Thank you for the information. Are you trying to install the Minecraft Java Edition or the Minecraft Bedrock Edition?

    If you're trying to install the Bedrock Edition, try to install the game itself without using the Launcher. Simply search Minecraft for Windows on Xbox app or Microsoft Store.

    You could as well try to install the Launcher from the web here https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download

    Minecraft Launcher stuck on "Downloading update files"

    I tried that out but I think that the problem is about microsoft store. I can't install anything on it and the only way to get applications for me is to download them from the internet and just hope that it doesn't need connection to the microsoft store. This is why i can't install the minecraft launcher- It tries to connect to the microsoft store but then it gets an error and it sends me the store so I can download the launcher from there, which just like I said doesn't work. I followed your steps and the only problem I got was in the last step, which requires me to download an application from the store.
