Option 1:
Click Start > Settings > Update & security > Windows Update > Check for updates
Download and install any pending updates
Restart your computer

Option 2:
Download and run the problem solver for applications and the Windows Store: http://aka.ms/diag_apps10

Option 3:
Press Windows key + X
Click Windows PowerShell (Admin)
At the command prompt, type the following then hit Enter:

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


- Open the store, click on the elipses (3 dots) in the upper right corner
- Click on "settings"
- Scroll down and under account, click on "Manage your devices" (this will open the browser)
- Remove un-used devices from this list that shows up if you have 10 in there already.

Option 4:
Delete all files in

C:\Users\User_name\AppData\Local\Packages \Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache

OK so I tried Option 1 and my device is up to date. I tried Option 2 and the troubleshooter said this:

When I clicked the first option it gave me, it showed this but nothing happened and it just kept going around until I finally just clicked cancel:

I then tried Option 2 again but clicked Skip this step this time and this came up but the troubleshooter was unable to actually do anything about it:

After trying Option 3, a new problem has occurred - on the Microsoft Store, when I try to click on Minecraft for Windows 10 itself this just comes up:

So now I can't even get to the Install button in the first place. I will not try Option 4 until I hear from you about this new problem. Thanks for your help so far please reply asap.

At the command prompt, type:
net user administrator /active:yes

Hit Enter

Close command prompt, restart, then try signing into the Administrator account.

Try downloading Minecraft again.

Just tried option 4 and that new problem is still there when I just click on Minecraft for Windows 10:

Try upgrading to Windows 10 1903 to see if it resolves this problem.
