    Why is the minecraft launcher re-directing me to the Microsoft Store to install Gaming Services?

    Hi there. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

    Please try the steps one at a time to resolve the issue.

    Solution 1: Repair the Gaming Services app and Xbox app.

    Please go to Settings > Apps > Apps Features. Select Gaming Services, then click Advanced options. Click the repair button, do the same for the Xbox app. Try launching the game again and see if it works.

    Solution 2: Uninstall and reinstall the Gaming Services App

    Select the Search icon on the taskbar, type powershell, right-click on Windows PowerShell, and then select Run as administrator.

    In Windows PowerShell, type the following command and press Enter:

    get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers

    In the same window, type the following command and press Enter:

    start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

    Install the app on that page and select Yes when you receive the User Account Control (UAC) prompt.

    Restart your device and try launching the game again and see if it works.

    Solution 3:

    Please open the PowerShell in admin mode and paste the following below:

    Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

    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

    If I buy minecraft from the microsoft store, can I then also download minecraft with the same microsoft account from the website of minecraft?

    Hi LucaGamer777, I hope you're doing great despite the issue you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    If you're pertaining to Minecraft for Windows, I'm sorry but no, the current Minecraft Launcher on Minecraft is not compatible with the game which means that you will be needing to install the game still through the Microsoft Store or install the new and updated Minecraft Launcher on Microsoft Store/Xbox App to install the game inside of the launcher.
