Trying to install Minecraft Launcher from the Xbox App but failing due to an annoying error? Welcome to the only troubleshooting guide you will need to fix the problem! Minecraft’s new launcher is entirely broken, as most reports seem to suggest. However, things become easy when you manage to pinpoint the exact cause of the error. Minecraft’s new launcher supports platforms on Windows 10 and 11. It lets fans access all their Minecraft games – Minecraft for Windows 10, Java Edition, and Dungeons – from the same application. The developers (Mojang Studios) heavily recommend using the launcher to manage all your Minecraft games. However, you can also download the games individually on your PC – the launcher is not mandatory.
As mentioned before, many users are running into issues while trying to install or download the Minecraft app. We have noted similar dissatisfaction among users regarding launching Minecraft via the Launcher app. Users can download the launcher from Microsoft Store, Xbox App, or even the Minecraft Website. If you are trying to download and install the Minecraft Launcher via the Xbox App on your PC (Windows 10/11) but running into an issue, keep ready to know some fixes and workarounds.

6) Uninstall and reinstall the Xbox App.
Open Settings app and navigate to Apps > Apps & features. Locate the Xbox app in the list, click on it, and select Uninstall. Reinstall the Xbox app from here.
7) Make sure that Windows is completely updated on your PC.
If you are facing any trouble with OS updates or one of your updates is stuck at a certain percentage, try using the Update Assistant to complete the updates. You can download the Windows Update Assistant from here.
If none of the above works, we recommend you to try downloading the Minecraft Launcher’s .exe file for Windows 10/11 directly from here (Source: Official Minecraft Website). For more articles, stay tuned to us!
