    Try this command in admin Windows PowerShell to re-register Microsoft Store package:

    Get-AppXPackage WindowsStore -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    Hi, I'm Bernard. I'm happy to help!

    This issue occurs when there is a miscalibration with the Microsoft Store. To sort out the issue, kindly follow the steps below:

    Method 1. Repair Windows Store and app:

    Open Terminal (Admin) or Windows PowerShell(Admin) (Press Windows key + X then click Terminal(Admin))

    Copy, paste, and enter the command below:

    Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
    

    Then hit Enter. Once the process is done, restart the PC and check.

    If none will work from the above solution, I suggest doing an in-place upgrade which will upgrade the device to the latest version and repair all issues without deleting any files.

     

    Note: before doing this, make sure to create a restore point:  https://support.microsoft.com/en-hk/help/4027538/windows-create-a-system-restore-point

     

    1. Go to this link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
    2. Select Download Now, and select Run. You need to be an administrator to run this tool.
    3. On the License terms page, if you accept the license terms, select Accept.
    4. On the What do you want to do? page, select Upgrade this PC now, and then select Next.
    5. After downloading and installing, it should fix the issue.

    Follow these steps on Windows 10 to fix Microsoft Store so it can update (and then install Minecraft):

    1. Reset the Microsoft Store cache
      • Press Windows key + R.
      • Type wsreset.exe and select OK.
      • A blank Command Prompt opens; after about 10–30 seconds it closes and Microsoft Store opens automatically.
    2. Make sure Windows is fully updated
      • Select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Check for updates.
      • If updates are available, select Install now and restart if required.
    3. Check date, time, and region
      • Go to Settings > Time & Language > Date & time.
      • Turn on Set time automatically and Set time zone automatically.
      • Ensure the Region is correct (for example, your actual country).
    4. Update Microsoft Store itself
      • Open Microsoft Store from the Start menu.
      • Select See more (three dots) > Downloads and updates > Get updates.
      • Let it install any available updates, including for Microsoft Store.
    5. Repair or reset the Microsoft Store app
      • Go to Settings > Apps > Installed apps (or Apps & features).
      • Find Microsoft Store, select it > Advanced options.
      • First select Repair and test.
      • If it still fails, go back and select Reset.
    6. Run the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter
      • Select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot.
      • Select Windows Store apps > Run the troubleshooter and apply any fixes it suggests.

    After these steps, reopen Microsoft Store, let it finish updating, then search for Minecraft for Windows and install it.
