Windows 10: Can't uninstall or install Minecraft windows 10, nor can I uninstall Microsoft store.

My minecraft for windows 10 won't update fully to the next version for the nether update. It's also in a weird state as it almost acts like it doesn't exist in my pc. I can search it up in the windows bar, but I cannot actually uninstall no matter how long I wait. In the microsoft store it acts like it's not installed, but when I click install it tells me something went wrong on their end and to try again later. I've been trying for a week now but nothing happens. I just want to reinstall minecraft for windows 10 to try and fix the update issue, considering I can't update it through the windows store because it acts like I don't have it installed. This might be an issue with the fact that I got the game through the fact that I owned it before Microsoft bought minecraft, so they gave me a free edition. I'm at my wits end trying anything to delete or reinstall, but even powershell can't find the data to Minecraft to delete it. I try through the app manager and it simply closes when I try to open app settings for windows store and Minecraft doesn't even show up. TLDR; don't know why my minecraft won't update, won't uninstall, and Microsoft store is acting like it's never been installed but won't let me install it.

How do you uninstall chipset drivers?

I'm installing a new mobo so I need to uninstall the intel 865g drivers to make way for the P35 drivers.

Can't find any uninstall options in add/remove programs and intel chipset inst listed in driver cleaner.

Any suggestions? *Confused

Hi Xpsychonauticon,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community Forums.

I can understand the situation must be difficult for you when the game doesn't get installed as it should.

Please answer these questions to get clarity on this issue:

1. Are you aware of any changes made to the PC prior to this issue?
   
2. Is the issue specific to this game?
   
3. Are you referring to Minecraft app from Windows Store?
   
4. Are you able to install other apps from the Microsoft Store?
   
5. Are you able to uninstall the app?
   

However, let us follow these methods and check if that makes any difference.

Method 1: If your answer to the Q-5 is No, then suggest you to follow the steps from this article to

Revo Uninstaller

free version doesn't list 64bit applications, hence totally helpless to remove them, while native windows uninstaller will do that.

only paid version revo uninstaller pro does and also another paid program called your uninstaller.
