Windows 10: Minecraft gone when wiping pc?

I have wiped my pc, but when i booted it and logged into my microsoft account, i did not have minecraft no more. 30 bucks down the drain.

Homegroup For Minecraft Servers Or What?

It looks as if the existing minecraft server will use the new system without modification - It needs to be able to access the computers on the network in a two way link, which is the standard for Workgroup and Homegroup

There is a complete step by step available, if you have any issues ...

Tutorials/Setting up a server – Official Minecraft Wiki

It's not something I have any direct experience with but a quick read suggests to me that you will not need to do Much if any reconfiguration of the existing server

 

i wiped my pc and my minecraft worlds are nowhere

Hi Quandale Dingle4，



Welcome to Microsoft Community.



Unfortunately, if you wiped your PC and did not back up your Minecraft worlds, it is likely that they are gone permanently. When you wipe a hard drive, all data on it is deleted, including game saves and worlds.

However, there are a few things you can try:

1. Check if the worlds were saved to the cloud: If you were playing Minecraft Bedrock Edition and had cloud saves enabled, your worlds may have been saved to your Xbox Live or Microsoft account. To check, open Minecraft on a device that is signed into the same account and see if the worlds are there.
   
2. Check the recycle bin: If you wiped your computer recently, there may be a chance that the worlds were moved to your recycle bin instead of being completely deleted. Open your recycle bin and look for any Minecraft-related files.
   
3. Use a data recovery tool: There are some software tools available that can help recover lost files. However, these can be hit or miss, especially if the data has been overwritten.
   

In the future, it's always a good idea to back up your game saves and worlds regularly to prevent permanent data loss. You can do this by manually copying the world files to an external hard drive or using a cloud storage service like Dropbox or OneDrive.



Thank you for your patience and understanding, if you have any questions, please feel free to leave us a message.

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.
