    Minecraft scanning for games on local network not working


    The only game I have had trouble with is Minecraft (Mojang version not Win 10)scanning for games on local network not working.
    My desktop is an ethernet connection to an actiontec MI424-WR Rev I
    All other laptops on wireless connection can see each other. I even tried one of the laptops on Ethernet using my ethernet cable and it still works.
    I can direct connect i.e 192.168.1.6:50736 for example.

    Here's what I have tried.
    - all computers are using the same version of Minecraft 1.11
    - checked firewall entries. Turned off firewall.
    - Tried port forwarding. Except this doesn't make sense because all the other laptops are connected to same router and they work without the forced port forwarding.
    - Took an empty disk drive and did a clean install of Windows 10 pro and then tried Minecraft. Scanning for games on local network does NOT WORK.
    - I have uninstalled malwarebytes and admuncher and turned off Windows defender.

    Where do I go from here? All my steam games work. Maybe minecraft just doesnt work for some computers?

    :)

    Xbox live login fail

    Hi,

    There is a way for you to play the Minecraft: Switch Edition with your friends on Switch while signed in to your Xbox Live account. There are two network modes that can be chosen from the main menu by pressing Y, Online Network,
    and Local Network. Local Network can be used to join other consoles nearby when there is no internet connection available. To properly isolate your concern, please provide us the following information:

    • On which device are you trying to play the game?
    • Have you played the Minecraft: Switch Edition on the same device before?

    For more information about Minecraft: Switch Edition, you may visit this

    Minecraft Windows 10 on XBox One

    Hi Taylor,

    Players who already have the previous PC or Mac edition of Minecraft (running on Java) can download Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition for free.
    You can play with up to four other people running Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition or Pocket Edition on your local network.
    To properly isolate your concern, please clarify the following information:

    • Were you able to download Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition on your PC?
    • Did you purchase a copy of Minecraft for Xbox One?

    The games that you can play on your Xbox console and your PC without paying additional costs are called Xbox play Anywhere Games. You may click on this

    link     to check the list of Xbox Play Anywhere games.

    You can play with up to four other people running Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition or Pocket Edition on your local network. You can also play online with up to four of your Xbox Live friends in online multiplayer gaming. If you purchased or redeemed the code
    for Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition you can only use it on a Windows 10 PC.

    Minecraft scanning for games on local network not working

    I find that inviting users on your local network works. So long as each user owns a copy and has a different Xbox account logged into windows 10.
