Getting error code 0x80070005 when trying to download minecraft windows

I have been having problems launching minecraft windows editions recently. I bought the java & windows bundle and have played the windows editions before, but I had to reinstall and now I can't even get past 0% downloaded without getting 0x80070005 as an error. Java works fine, but not windows. I have tried many different fixes that I have found recommended here, but nothing worked. I have repaired and reset the store, the launcher. I have used various CMD commands recommended, powershell commands.. I have run the windows apps troubleshooter, but it couldn't fix anything it just told me there is a problem with hanging and crashing apps that it couldn't fix.

Hey there!

Nice to meet you! I'm Darhyl, an Independent Advisor. I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Minecraft Bedrock.

Just a gentle reminder that we are only Microsoft users like you here in the community. We are not Microsoft employees and we do not have tools to access your support ticket or any Microsoft system.

Based on the error codes you provided, kindly try to perform these steps according to Independent Advisor Georges C.: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/...

"have you checked if you have the latest version of Windows installed, at 21H2, because recently came out the latest update to Windows 10 and 11.

See which version of Windows 10 you have

Updates often seen as optional, Microsoft released major fixes this week, and make sure you have the Xbox Companion App installed.

If you haven't updated yet, click the link below, update and then make all subsequent security updates.

Download Windows 10

Download Windows 11

Also make sure all Xbox Apps are up to date in the store, also try to create a local account on your PC, in Win 11 sometimes a bug can happen that the launcher does not install by not having a local account in Windows."

Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please let me know if you need anything else.

Best regards,
Darhyl
