There has been an error players are facing when they try to play Bedrock edition on PC through Minecraft Launcher and it happens when Minecraft fails to find the installed product. This issue has been frustrating a lot of fans, so this guide tells a few solutions to fix the “Failed to Find Installed Product” error in Minecraft and get you back to mining and crafting in no time.
What Causes the “Failed to Find Installed Product” Error in Minecraft?
Based on different scenarios that players have reported, here are the most common reasons:
- Minecraft is not properly installed or the game files are corrupted.
- Microsoft Store isn’t recognizing your game or is out of sync.
- An outdated Minecraft Launcher results in compatibility issues.
- Internet connectivity problems prevent verification of your game files.
- Corrupt cache files in the Microsoft Store or Xbox app.
So, we are going to explain a few possible fixes according to these possibilities to resolve this error.
Update Minecraft from the Microsoft Store
Some players on Reddit reported that updating Minecraft from the Microsoft Store fixed the issue for them. Here’s how to do it:
- Open the Microsoft Store on your PC.
- Click on Library in the bottom-left corner.
- Look for Minecraft and check if an update is available.
- If a new version is here waiting to be installed, complete the updating process and launch Minecraft again.
If the update fails, sign out of the Microsoft Store, restart your PC, and sign back in before trying to update again.
Repair the Minecraft Launcher
If updating the game doesn’t work, try repairing or resetting the Minecraft Launcher. As the most expected reason is the launcher’s fault, so do that:
- Press Windows Key + I to open Settings.
- Go to Apps > Installed Apps.
- Find Minecraft Launcher, click the three-dot menu, and select Advanced Options.
- Scroll down and click Repair.
- Once the repair is done, also click Reset.
Now, restart your PC and the game should run fine.
Reinstall Minecraft Bedrock Edition
If the error still is there, reinstalling the game is another method to try. To do that, follow these steps:
- Open the Minecraft Launcher and go to the Installations tab.
- Find Minecraft Bedrock Edition and delete it.
- Head over to the Microsoft Store and reinstall the game.
This ensures you have a fresh installation, which most often fixes errors caused by damaged or missing game files.
Sign Out and Back Into Microsoft Store & Xbox App
Since Bedrock Edition is linked to your Microsoft account, you should also log out of it and sign back in again to try as a fix. These are the steps to reauthenticate your account:
- Open the Minecraft Launcher, click on your profile icon, and select Log Out.
- Open the Microsoft Store, click your profile icon, and sign out.
- Open the Xbox App (download it if you don’t have it), and sign out as well.
- Restart your PC and then login to all three apps again using the same account.
Check Minecraft Servers Status
Sometimes, the issue isn’t on your end. If the Minecraft servers are down, you will get errors when trying to verify your installed game. Check the official Minecraft Server Status here or visit Downdetector to see if others are experiencing the same issue. If the servers are down, you’ll have to wait for Mojang to fix them.
Clear Microsoft Store Cache Files
You know that cache files create many troubles in a lot of cases and the same can also be true in the Microsoft Store. Not a main troubleshooting solution but it’s better to also clear the cache:
- Press Windows + R, type wsreset.exe, and hit Enter.
- A black window will pop up—wait for it to close automatically.
- Restart your PC and open Minecraft again.
It is a Windows built-in feature to reset the Microsoft Store cache without affecting any installed apps through the store.
Try the Legacy Minecraft Launcher
If none of the above methods work, you can also try to use the Legacy Minecraft Launcher instead of the UWP (Microsoft Store) version and see if the game works fine on it.
- Go to the official Minecraft website’s download page.
- Scroll a little and find the Windows Legacy Launcher.
- Download the installer and install it.
This version works separately from the Microsoft Store and Xbox services as you don’t require Microsoft inclusion here, so it can bypass some account verification issues.
Reinstall the Xbox Identity Provider & Gaming Services
Minecraft relies on Xbox services to verify your game ownership. If these services are broken, reinstalling them might help. So, the last solution you can try is reinstalling these.
To reinstall Xbox Identity Provider:
Open the Microsoft Store and search for “Xbox Identity Provider“. If it’s not installed, download it from this link. If already available, check out the new update for it.
To reinstall Gaming Services:
Press Windows + X and select PowerShell (Admin). Type the following command and hit Enter: get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers
After restarting your PC, open PowerShell (Admin) again and run this command this time: start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN
It will open the Microsoft Store and directly take you to the Gaming Services page—simply install it from there.
