Windows 10: Can’t download minecraft

So i downloaded minecraft on my pc and when i go to install it a red circle with a cross going threw it comes up and the install button wont work. I tried to get around this by clicking install on devices but the only device that shows is my old computer i had years ago. I proceeded to log into microsoft using the browser and made sure my new pc was added to my profiles known devices and even deleted my old one from known devices also, but when i returned to the app microsoft store i was still facing the same problem. Really feel like im getting ripped for my money here...

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

• Are you trying to install Minecraft application from Windows Store?

This issue could have occurred due to these reasons:

Method 1:

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

• Press Windows + R keys to open run box.

  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.

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.
