Windows 10: Can't install minecraft windows 10 edition

Recently I tried to install Minecraft windows 10 edition on my pc, running windows 1709, but it says the game is already installed. I have made sure it is not, in fact, installed. I have reset the Microsoft store app multiple times, including through PowerShell and the like. I have followed every guide I can find off google to fix this, and followed instructions in probably 4 or 5 different Microsoft forum threads. When I look under specifications for mcwin10 edition on the store it says it only runs of ARM systems, which I know isn't true because I've run it on my x86 system before, and it obviously works on x64 & 86 systems. I'm aware my OS is a bit outdated, since it's running 1709 and not 1909, however, when I try to update it using Microsoft's update tool, it says something along the lines of "this utility can't be used to update windows on a flash drive". I originally set up my boot SSD as a window to go drive, using it in an external enclosure, which I think is the problem. Is there any way I can resolve this issue without resetting my OS?

Thanks,

Minecraft Window 10 edition

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand your concern, as you are unable to install the Minecraft game from Microsoft store.
In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

• What is the Windows 10 version and Build installed? (Type winver in Windows search/Run command)
• What is the error you are getting when you click on Install button?

If you have installed java version of Minecraft, you can check in Add/Remove programs, by launching Run command (Press Window + R key) type appwiz.cpl and click Ok.



However, assuming that you have installed the Minecraft from Microsoft Store, let us go ahead and try the following methods.



Method 1: Reset Microsoft Store.

1. Press Windows + R key from the keyboard to launch Run command.
   
2. Type wsreset.exe
   and click Ok.
   
3. Restart the PC and then try installing the game from Microsoft Store.
   

Method 2: If the issue still persist, then try creating a new user account as this issue may be due to a profile corruption. Hence, in order to eliminate possibilities, we would
suggest you to create a new user account and check. Follow the steps from the article

Create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10 to create a new user account.



If you still face issues, you may want to check the

We await your response.
