Windows Not Allowing Me to Download Minecraft?

The offer for the free copy of the Windows 10 version has expired. You don't automatically get it by signing in.

Greetings LindsayRabalais,

Let me provide some resources to help but please keep in mind the following items:

• Mojang is running point on support for anything around the account migration.
  
• We have a Minecraft section in our known issues post going over some account issues, I would recommend trying these: Known Issues | Xbox Forums
  

However, an immediate recommendation I can give to try if the above doesn't work is this:

1. Repair and reset the Xbox App and Gaming Services.
   
   • Open the Settings app on your computer and go to Apps, then find the Xbox app.
     
   • Next, click Advanced Options, then scroll down the list and click Repair (let it repair) then click Reset (let it reset)
     
   • Now repeat for Gaming Services and the Microsoft Store.
     
2. Check the core services that run in the background which provide the Xbox app, and Game Pass all their functionality and connectivity.
   
   • Open the Start menu, search Services then open Services. Scroll down the list and find all of the Xbox entries (they are near the bottom).
     
   • Gaming Services (There are 2 of them)
     
   • Xbox Accessory Management Service
     
   • Xbox Live Auth Manager
     
   • Xbox Live Game Save
     
   • Xbox Live Networking Service
     
   • When you find them right-click on them and select Start. If you can see that they are already running, you can skip them.
     

Let us know if this worked! If you have a different concern kindly create a new thread using this link - Create a new question or start a discussion.

^ I figured about that.

There should be a dropdown menu called Choose Edition and you can download Minecraft for windows there. You would have to do it in the Xbox App and its located in Minecraft Launcher. It allowed me to download Minecraft for Windows through there.

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

First check if windows 10 is up to date. Make sure your time and date are correct on your windows settings.

There is an "Optional Updates" button in the smallest print. Kindly check and go to driver, and download the existing drivers needed. Then restart, plug in the Receiver. Go to the same optional updates, and updated the driver.

Make sure that this is turned on "Receive updates for other Microsoft products when you update Windows" under Advanced Options

Check for store updates: Start menu, select Microsoft Store > More > Downloads and updates > Get updates.

If Updating the system doesn't help, I'll suggest you run a scan to check for problems and repair them.

Press Windows + R, type cmd, and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to run Command Prompt as administrator. Next type sfc /scannow in Command Prompt window, and press Enter to start to scan and repair corrupt system files in Windows 10.

Well none of these were of any use, everything is up to date and have redeemed the key back in 2019 as I can see from my old receipts.
I am still just getting something happened on our end constantly, is there any help you can provide besides from the copy pasted stuff you send most issues.

James
