Windows 10: Cannot download Minecraft from Microsoft store

I bought Minecraft for Windows 10 game through the Microsoft store.

I go to 'help' and am told this:

Windows 10

1. Go to order history, find Windows 10 , then select Product key/Install.
2. Select Copy to copy the key, then select Install.
3. Select Download tool now, and follow the instructions.
4. A wizard will help you through the steps to install. You can install Windows 10 on a PC or a Mac.
   

There IS NO "Windows 10" OR PRoduct key/install.

When I click on INstall/play in my purchase window, it takes me to the microsoft store where it says I have to buy it again. Yes, I am signed into my account.

I've also tried clicking "install on my devices" but then says I don't have any registered devices, even though I AM SIGNED IN on my computer through Microsoft already.

I keep getting turned in circles. All I want to do is play the dang game. ANd ofc it says no refunds. How can I play if it won't let me download????? I don't want to just play online. I want to play it offline also.

Windows 10 - Minecraft Download Issue

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. I understand that you have an issue with downloading Minecraft application.
I will surely help you to fix this issue.

To understand the issue better, I would need more information from your end.

• Are you trying to install Minecraft application from Windows Store?
• Do you get any error message?

This issue could have occurred due to these reasons:

1. Corrupt Windows Store cache.

2. Conflict between third party applications.

If you are facing this issue while downloading Minecraft from Windows Store, I suggest you to try these steps:

Method 1:

I suggest you to reset Windows Store Cache and check if it helps.

• Press Windows + R keys to open run box.
• Type WSReset.exe and hit
  Enter.

Method 2:

If the issue persists, I would suggest you to disable Antivirus software/ Firewall and check if it helps.

Warning:

1) Please make sure to re-enable Antivirus software after performing troubleshooting steps.

2) Antivirus software/ Firewall can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable or uninstall your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable or uninstall
it to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled or uninstalled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

Hope this information helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of the issue so that we can assist you further.

• Find the Store app, and then click on Advanced options.

No download link for minecraft for windows 10 on the windows store page.

Hi,

Players who already have the previous PC or Mac edition of Minecraft (running on Java) can download Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition for free. To download the game, you'll
need to get a code from Mojang, the game developer, by signing in to your
Mojang account before attempting to redeem your code for Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition. Otherwise, you may incur a charge.

To get your code from Mojang you may follow the steps below:

• Sign in with your
  Mojang account.
• Under Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition, select the link to request a code. Microsoft Windows 10 will open.
  

The code you receive from Mojang will be kept on your account, in case you’re unable to redeem it straight away, or in case you have problems trying to redeem it in Microsoft Store.
