Minecraft Windows 10 Edition won't start

[Dominator211]

Hey guys I got a little bit of a issue. So I have Minecraft Windows 10 on a PC and it it fails to start. Just opens and closes. I tried looking around and found that it may be a GPU issue. I tried disabling it with no luck. The only things I think could be causing it is that the PC was imaged from another computer and that this PC is offline. (It has to stay offline for educational and security reasons as it is at a school) there could be a bunch of reasons that this isn't working but I wanted to see if anyone had any trouble shooting tips.


If anyone doesn't know the error I'm describing ill try and upload a video about it and paste it here for reference.

Hi ! I hope it's not too late
But I recommend you to reinstall the game, you can copy the com.mojang folder if you don't want to lose you world it's in

C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\

I hope you read what I typed because I believe I wrote that the computer I'm trying to use it on is offline and has to remain that way.

Oh sorry ! I haven't read the offline word :/
What is your GPU ? Minecraft normally runs on any chipset

I had this problem, and it was very annoying :/
Try to delete the game cache (C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache), delete all the folder content. Even if I don't think that this will resolve problems

Could you actually list them out for me, that would help a lot so i dont have to do the back n forth

Ok ! A method that can be efficient will be that :

• Goto Notepad (in admin mode it's important else you'll no be able to goto the WindowsApps folder), and click on Open > File
• Goto

  C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\ (In the file picker)

• Find

  Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_1.16.4002.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

  folder and copy and paste on your desktop
• Open a powershell as admin on your desktop and enter

  cd Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_1.16.4002.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

• Then enter

  Add-AppxPackage -register appxmanifest.xml

• Normally it install the game
• Then type Minecraft on the start menu and the game should start

If it doesn't work, delete

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\

(Not the LocalCache, the folder itself)
And if it doesn't work too, it may be a GPU/RAM issue. Minecraft requires at least 4GB of RAM and for GPU I think it's Intel HD Graphics 2500 (because I have this integrated gpu and it's working very well with no lags and shaders)

Do you think it could be a licensing issue? I did legally pay for the game I just downloaded it before I made the image that was put on this computer. The computer has never been on the internet while the image is on it.

 

[Deleted member 518296]

No because if it was licencing issue, the game will simply be in trial
Even if the computer is offline, I don't know how but the game can know if the licence is valid (if you have connected your account at least once).

 

[Dominator211]

Does it need this? Or is that another app on the pc?

 

[Deleted member 518296]

I think it's for another app, because Minecraft bedrock was programmed in C++, so no .NET
But install if you can, even if I know that you can't have access to internet

 

[Dominator211]

phone? I tried using your powers help method and got this error...

 

[Deleted member 518296]

Oh yes I forgot ! Uninstall Minecraft before enter this command, it will install without problems next
EDIT: After installation, don't delete the folder from your desktop, else it will not launch anymore, so put the Minecraft folder in a destination that you want and register here.

 

[Dominator211]

Now I get this error...



I know how to turn on developer options. But the needed "package" can't be downloaded.


EDIT: Turned in devliper mode and got the same error.

Sorry for the late response, there is a signature file called AppxSignature.p7x, you need to delete it before execute this command

Where is that file located?

 

[Deleted member 518296]

On the root of the folder (Where there is Minecraft.Windows.exe)
