Windows 10: Windows Minecraft in-app purchases

Hi,


I have a subscription to Minecraft for my son on the PC. - purchased via the Microsoft store. I have not allowed the store to automatically allow purchases under settings, yet when logged into Minecraft, my son can still purchase via the marketplace in minecraft without it notifying me or without requiring a passkey/password. How do I prevent in app purchases without a passkey or code on this game on the pc??

Minecraft Got Deleted After Clean Installating Windows 10 And Again Minecraft Purchased.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I think you did a Clean Installation of Windows 10 and Clean Installation will delete all your applications; games; and your user data such as music files, video files, pictures, documents, etc.



In order to get clarity on this issue and assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

1. From where did you purchase the Minecraft game?
   
2. Have you already installed Minecraft on your Windows 10 computer?
   

If you have purchased several copies of Minecraft from Mojang, then I suggest you to refer the
Mojang refunds policy and check their refund policy.



If you have purchased Minecraft from Microsoft Store, then I suggest you to refer
Returning items you bought from Microsoft Store for exchange or refund
and check if you can get a refund.



If you have purchased Minecraft from Oculus, then I suggest you to
Contact the Oculus Support Team and they will help you with this.



Please feel free to contact us back, in case you have any other questions/issues with Windows in future.

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
