Windows 10: Microsoft store will not let me download the Minecraft Launcher?

I went to boot up the Minecraft Launcher yesterday and a prompt came up along the lines of "Can't open, check the Microsoft Store for more information". When I went to the store it seemed like it was a little slow but nothing unusual. Yet it still wouldn't let me open the game even after reset my computer. I assumed it was because the store was having some technical errors so I left it be for the day but when I come to turn on the computer today it still will not let me download it. What happens is it'll pop up with the download page and it will just sit and stay on the loading screen as if it

Problem with the minecraft launcher.

Hi mineblokkies，

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

There are many reasons why you can't log in to Minecraft Launcher, but all of them are due to Microsoft Store and related services. I will provide several methods to try to solve this problem, please refer to the following steps for operation:

• Clear the cache on Microsoft Store.
  

1. Press the Windows logo key + R, type wsreset.exe, and select OK.
   
2. After a few seconds a blank command prompt window will appear, which will disappear after about ten seconds and the Microsoft Store will open automatically.This means the cache was cleared successfully.
   

• Make sure you're using the Microsoft Store Install Service.
  

1. Services.msc can be found by pressing Windows Key + S and typing services.msc.
   
2. Locate and double-click the Microsoft Store Install Service; if the status is Running, right-click it and select Restart.
   
3. Change it to Automatic if it's disabled, then click Start and OK.
   

• Reinstall the Microsoft Store app
  

1. Press Windows key + X
   
   Click and Run Windows PowerShell(run as Administrator)Copy and paste the command below then hit Enter:
   
   

• Reinstall the Minecraft Launcher
  

1. Click Start >Settings >Apps，find "Minecraft Launcher" in all apps.
   
2. Click on the "Minecraft Launcher" Advanced options >Uninstall the application.
   
3. Open the Microsoft Store, search for "Minecraft Launcher", download and install it again, and log in to your account to see if it works.
   

There are many steps, please try them all. Your patience and cooperation are highly appreciated.

Please assist me on this, thank you.

 

Minecraft Launcher on Microsoft Store does not download/install button turns grey but does nothing

Ok, so I have done all the steps but for the last step do I have to sign into the Microsoft Store or the Minecraft Launcher?
