Windows 10: Unable to download Minecraft for Windows 10 edition 0x803FB005 error

Hello, I previously had Minecraft for Windows Edition successfully installed for over a year. Today, after many failed attempts to upgrade from 1.16.40 to 1.16.100, I uninstalled Minecraft with a plan to re-install to see if that would get me the newest edition. However, now I am unable to install Minecraft all using the Microsoft Store. I have tried every fix listed here:

Without success. Every time after I click install there's a pause and then "Error", opening up details shows only the error code "0x803FB005" . Any help is deeply appreciated as my daughter absolutely loves Minecraft and we just bought the Star Wars DLC. Which she was very excited about.

Error Code: 0x803FB005 on download from Windows Store

The problem is that this error code is unknown.
Code:

It's not even listed in online MSDN documentation.
Not even HERE
And yes, not even UWP error codes list such code

Don't blame Windows "support" sites, this is a question for "Cribbage Classic" developers probably.

 

Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition: Unable to connect to world

Hi Angelito,

The game server error is one of the possible reasons why you're unable to connect to the Minecraft world. To help you resolve this concern, I need to gather more details. Kindly answer the questions below:

• Were you able to connect to an external server on Minecraft before?
• What are the troubleshooting steps you have done so far?
• When did the issue start?
• Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game?
• Do you have a firewall (or antivirus firewall)? If yes, try to disable it.

Meanwhile, I suggest that you run the troubleshooter for Windows apps using the link below. This could help remove problems with an app from Microsoft Store.

No download link for minecraft for windows 10 on the windows store page.

Hi,

Players who already have the previous PC or Mac edition of Minecraft (running on Java) can download Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition for free. To download the game, you'll
need to get a code from Mojang, the game developer, by signing in to your
Mojang account before attempting to redeem your code for Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition. Otherwise, you may incur a charge.

To get your code from Mojang you may follow the steps below:

• Sign in with your
  Mojang account.
• Under Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition, select the link to request a code. Microsoft Windows 10 will open.
  

The code you receive from Mojang will be kept on your account, in case you’re unable to redeem it straight away, or in case you have problems trying to redeem it in Microsoft Store.
