  1. Error 0x80070005 when trying to open Minecraft Launcher


    Yesterday I ran into an issue with my Minecraft Launcher. I keep getting the error 0x80070005 when trying to open it. It says to try resetting and if the issue persists, to uninstall and reinstall it. I have done both of these numerous times to no avail and cannot find any other solutions online that help. I had a similar issue previously a few days before this where anytime I opened the launcher I'd get an error but resetting always resolved it until now. Not sure if that was a different error code or not. Assistance would be greatly appreciated! :

    :)

    Minecraft Launcher Installation Application [Error code 0x80070005]

    I have downloaded MinecraftInstaller.exe via minecraft.net on my Windows 10 Home computer (PC). Am logged into the Microsoft Store account. I have checked license box and clicked 'install' button. After that the application needs my administrator approve for "host process for windows service" from verified Microsoft Windows. Then there is screen with text "something went wrong", "couldn't install apllication 0x80070005". I checked forums, my problem is diffrent that install bar doesn't even start :

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/minecraftlauncher-installation-error-0x80070005/c5edf005-5a78-45d2-8cf7-694b530937e2

    yet I tried solutions listed in link above.

    Firstly, the permissions in AppData\Local of the Packages folder have been ensured that all the users listed have their full control.
    Secondly, I've tried more steps:

    Solution 1 - Run Windows App Troubleshooter

    no change.

    Solution 2 - Reset Windows Store through Command Prompt

    no change.

    Solution 3 - Re-register All Store apps

    no change.


    None work, as the error code still appears. Installation does not work.

    There is also one thing i have to notice: downloading Minecraft from Microsoft Store doesn't work as well.
    The description for all the files shows error. There was a descriptions of error details that showed:
    Code: 0x803FB107 for Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC.
    Code: 0x80070005 for Minecraft: Java Edition

    Code: 0x80070005 for Minecraft for Windows

    Code: 0x80070005 for Gaming Service (am translating titles from my native language so it may have different name)

    and

    Code: 0x80070005 for Minecraft Launcher

    Minecraft+Launcher Installation Error 0x80070005

    Bought Minecraft + launcher in the Microsoft store on my laptop. (Lenovo Laptop)
    I press install and the launcher is installed however the actual game does not and it displays Error code 0x80070005. It downloads up to 90 percent then stops. I have Windows 10

    I have tried un-installing and re-installing, restarting my device and could not get results.

    Please try these steps:

    2. Type wsreset and hit Enter to reset the Microsoft Store cache.
    Reset the Minecraft App

    1. Go to Settings > Apps > Apps & features.
