Cant install Minecraft launcher from Microsoft Store - Microsoft Community

Cant install Minecraft launcher from Microsoft Store

Hello. I cannot install Minecraft from the store and I've tried everything. I've restarted my PC, restarted the store, signed out and signed back into store, changed time to automatic, and I have tried the troubleshooter (it found nothing). I have tried to lookup methods to help but all has failed. Please help. Even if I download from Minecraft.net, it still wants to download through the Microsoft store and I cannot.

That did NOT work. When I try to install that way, it wants me to continue installing through the Microsoft store, which I am unable to do so.

Thank you for updating me with that information. I apologize that this did not resolve the issue.


If you have a third-party VPN or Antivirus installed, please try to temporarily uninstall it then check if the issue persists.
Please try changing your Region to United States if it helps.
Please let me know if you have tried the methods below.
**Reset the Microsoft Store cache
Press the Windows Logo Key + R to open the Run dialog box,
type wsreset.exe -i

Note:


A blank Command Prompt window will open, and after about ten seconds the window will close, and Microsoft Store will open automatically.
**Check the Microsoft Store Install Service
Press the Windows Key + S and type in services.msc.
Find the Microsoft Store Install Service and double click, If the status is Running, right click it then select Restart
If disabled, change it to Automatic, click Start and click OK.

**Please try to run SFC and DISM to check for any system errors and corrupted files.
