If the methods in the video did not help resolve the issue you are having with Minecraft Launcher not downloading or installing on Windows, then we have a guide on our website where we have added more methods: computersluggish.com/windows-tutorials/software-apps/fix-minecraft-launcher-not-installing-on-pc/
I've been trying to install Java Edition for my daughter for about 2 hours now. I ended up installing the Windows 7/8 .msi installer instead of the Windows 10/11 .exe. Seems to be working ok!
If only all tutorials were so accurate simple and detailed as this one, this is some professional level tutorial for a game fix Edit: If it is useful to anyone, my problem of the launcher not starting has been resolved with the method that starts at 4.00 (updating all the apps from the microsoft store)
Been trying this for the last 1.5 hours, getting frustrated and doing all the solutions but none of them would work. I can't believe it was something as simple as my time not being correct. Thank you so much!
ATTENTION!!! IF YOU ARE USING WINDOWS 10 AND WANT TO DOWNLOAD THE MINECRAFT LAUNCHER THEN JUST DOWNLOAD THE WINDOWS 7/8 VERSION. IT WORKS ON WINDOWS 10 AND ISN'T COMPLETELY USELESS LIKE THE WINDOWS 10/11 LAUNCHER! Stop wasting your time trying to fix a broken useless shill of a launcher
Thanks! I had been able to install Preview but not regular Bedrock (was stuck on "Idle" when trying to download) and it was driving me crazy. I had tried a bunch of things, and I did the troubleshooter (found nothing), then windows store repair+reset, then the powershell script. One of these did the trick, now all my user accounts on the computer can install. Thank you!!!
Sir, you are actually a legend. i had the problem of unable to install bedrock for 2 days now. And you have actually helped fix this problem, What worked for me is the signout, signin from both microsoft market and xbox app. So thanks again
Story of my life. Every single walk through for fixing anything, no matter what the issue is there is never a fix for me. My situation is literally always different from everyone else. 😂 fml
Same thing here bro. im not even joking when i say this, but every single step in me building my pc, everything imaginable has gone wrong bro. i feel your pain bro it sucks when nothing can ever work first try. been searching for an hour for my fix, but nothing has had the same issue as me
Mmh, I'm not sure if your steps were what helped me; I've gotten to 6:17, but so the game still wouldn't get installed. HOWEVER, I did installed what seemed to me like unrelated Windows Updates and for other Store Apps in the meantime (which I did prior to using your Guide, but there were more), and after restarting my computer a few more times, I gave Minecraft another shot and I was finally able to install it! So, maybe the last few steps to reset the Windows Store didn't took effect until I've restarted after doing my Updates, but then again I wouldn't know. Still though, thanks for these steps, they may've very well helped me!
@@just-some-rando5302 The Windows Updates, like I had a whole bunch related to Office, but also security. There were also a few other for some of my Windows Store Apps. I'm not sure if, amongst them, one of these Updates is what helped me.
To get it to work for me, I had to sign out of the MS Store, click "Get" on the Minecraft Launcher, and then log back into my MS account when it prompted.
Holy fuck thank you. My shit was so broken that I couldnt even install the exe file from the website. Honestly insane that there is a bug where you have to sign out and back in through the xbox and store apps. Doesnt help that all google searches were saying was to reset the cache and flush DNS. Signed out of both and it fixed it. Thank you
Same. I don't understand what the issue is. This is so frustrating. I'm about ready to give up on minecraft altogether because of this launcher problem. My son is very upset and just wants to play minecraft again. Everything was working find before the whole migration from mojang to microsoft.
Am I the only one having issues with it going to “download update files” and the Green progress “bar” gets nearly to the end, then shoots back to the middle
THANK YOU. The problem was my region settings. I hate when companies like Microsoft make our lives harder and the games less fun, only for their interests.

Thank you, i apparently had to fix my region because it was marked as Spain when i live in America, synchronize the time and finally update my Windows Store app. Now i´m able to finally play Minecraft without problems!.

Microsoft did a great job with the game and the updates, but again in their style, they fucked up a simple thing as a game launcher

Me too, thank you
Me too, but it seems weird and Idk why the microsoft store wont work if it is the one supposed to be working
This is the only thing that worked for me. Fuck microsoft, filthy company ruined minecraft.
Bonus Tip: make sure the app "Gaming Services" Is installed on your computer

turns out the problem was that it doesn't like to download into external hard drives for some reason, i put it on my C drive and it worked

@@zekeisweird4800 you just go into your non-C Drive and grab the entire minecraft folder, then move it into your C Drive
