Windows 10 Minecraft forces use of Xbox email (Microsoft Account) instead of personal...

Hi There

Let's see if this works:

Go to the Microsoft Store

Click your profile pic at the top right corner

Click your account/profile

Click sign out

Once signed out, try logging in with your other account details

When you redeemed your Java Minecraft on Mojang, you have gotten a 5x5 code to redeem Minecraft on the Windows 10 store.

This redemption is a separate service of your Mojang account, and it's possible to use a Microsoft Account email that is different from your Mojang account email.

Mojang (which gives you Java Minecraft) is separate from the Microsoft Windows Store App, which uses a Microsoft Account email when you redeemed that 5x5 code.

After redemption of that code, the Windows 10 Minecraft is tied to the Microsoft Account email you used on your Windows 10 PC. From then on, you don't really need the Mojang account anymore, if you only want to play on Windows 10. You will then get the game
from the Windows 10 store only, with the E-Mail account you used on the Windows 10 store during code redemption.

So make sure you are signed in with the Microsoft Account email (which might not necessarily be the Mojang account email) when you use the Windows 10 Store app to re-download your Windows 10 Minecraft again.

Please make sure you are using the same email on Windows 10 that you used when you redeemed your Windows 10 Minecraft.

Open the Windows Store app, and click on the thee dots menu in the upper right. Choose your library, and look for your Windows 10 version.

If you are unable to find your Windows 10 version there, make double sure you are using the correct Microsoft Account email to access the store.

If you use a different email, you are basically a new customer who never bought Minecraft in the first place.

Purchases and code redemptions are tied to the email you used to buy/redeem a game.

Same thing happening to us. Microsoft website showing correct account balance, but buying minecoins from Minecraft on Win 10 fails because it thinks balance is much lower ($1.16 instead of $17.17).

Confusingly, buying games from the Windows 10 store works. So the glitch seems to be Minecraft specific.

Make sure you are signed in with the same Microsoft Account email as the one you used to redeem the Windows 10 Edition back then.

If you use the same Microsoft Account, simply open the Windows 10 Store app, click on the three dots menu in the upper right, and go to your Library.

There you should find Minecraft in the list. Simply click it to download it from there for free.
