A major part of Minecraft’s success comes from the fact that Mojang releases updates and new content for the game on regular basis. Each update contains something new and improved while fixing many prevalent bugs, issues, glitches, and other problems.
Minecraft has a ton of different versions. However, the versions that are most popular are game’s Java Edition, Bedrock Edition, Windows 10 Edition, and the spin-off game, Minecraft Dungeons. When a new update drops, each of these games or versions can be updated in their own unique way, some from the game’s dedicated launcher, some from the platform’s store, or directly from the internet.
While Java Edition, the most popular PC version, has its own launcher to launch and update the game, a similar but slightly different Windows 10 edition is updated in a different way. This article will guide players as to how to update it.
Minecraft for Windows 10: How to download new updates in 2022
The Windows 10 edition for the game can be found on the Microsoft store. The Microsoft store has an easy-to-navigate UI, which can be of assistance to players who are just getting started with the game. Players should also note that the game, like most Microsoft applications and programs on the Windows Store, has a feature that lets it update automatically, once an update is released.
Before downloading an update for the game, players will have to make sure that their base game is downloaded. If not, they must download the game from the store by typing its name in the search bar and hitting “Install” beside the name. If for any reason, the process of updating the game does not begin automatically, players can also update the game manually by following the steps given below:
- Navigate to the Windows Store.
- Click on the “triple-dot” symbol on the top right corner of the screen.
- Click on “Downloads and Updates.”
- Select “Get Updates.»
- This will start the installation/update of all Microsoft applications. Players can manage which ones they want to update from the same window.
As an added bonus, Mojang has said in a recent announcement that every player who owns the Java Edition of the game will be given the Windows 10 edition of the game at no extra cost this summer. This will drive a decent chunk of players towards the Windows 10 Edition, who can benefit from knowing how to update this alternative PC version of the game.

2.8.1.windows.1
Normally, Minecraft Java or Bedrock editions on Windows 10 or 11 should update automatically when you start the game. However, sometimes the game might not update, even if you restart it multiple times.
If you’re having any issues trying to update Minecraft, this guide will show you how to update the Windows 10 edition manually. We’ll also go through some common reasons why it doesn’t update itself.
How to update Minecraft in Windows 10 or 11
First, check that you have the Windows 10 Edition of Minecraft. This version updates through the Microsoft Store. Other versions, like the Minecraft Pocket Edition, don’t update through the Windows Store.
To check for updates manually, follow these steps:
- Open the start menu.
- Find and open the Microsoft Store.
- At the top right corner of the Store, click the triple dotted icon and choose Downloads and updates.
- Press Get updates.
After clicking “Get updates,” the Microsoft Store will look for and install the latest updates for all your apps, including Minecraft for Windows 10.
Once all updates are installed, a message that says “You’re good to go” will appear. Now, your Minecraft for Windows 10 should be up to date.
Minecraft not updating on Windows 11/10
If Minecraft doesn’t update, try uninstalling Minecraft for Windows 10 and reinstalling it. Warning: This could make you lose your saved games. Make sure you back up your save files before uninstalling. To uninstall Minecraft, go to Settings > Apps & Features. Choose Minecraft for Windows from the list, then click Uninstall. To reinstall, go back to the Microsoft Store, search for “Minecraft for Windows 10,” and click the Get button. A fresh install ensures you get the latest version from the Microsoft Store.
Minecraft not on the list of apps in MS Store
If you don’t see Minecraft Windows 10 Edition in your Microsoft Store’s installed apps list, you might have a different edition or installed it outside the Microsoft Store. If you’re sure you have the Windows 10 Edition, uninstall your current Minecraft version (Warning: This might result in losing your saved games. Be sure to back up your save files before uninstalling) and reinstall it through the Microsoft Store.
On the Minecraft for Windows 10 page in the Microsoft Store, if you see a Buy button, make sure you’re logged in with the Microsoft account that owns the game.
Linked issue: 0x8D050003 Microsoft Store Error on Windows 11 or 10
When I update Minecraft, I receive “Try that again, Something went wrong” error
If you see an error message with error code 0x80070490 when updating Minecraft, this is a Windows Update error. Make sure your Windows 10 is up to date by going to the Start menu, searching for, and opening Windows Update settings. Click the Check for updates button to find the latest Windows updates. After updating Windows 10, try updating Minecraft for Windows 10 again.
If nothing works, you might want to get in touch with Minecraft customer support. Or, as a temporary fix, try running Minecraft on your Windows 10 PC using an Android emulator like Andyroid or Bluestacks.
Why update Minecraft
Updating Minecraft is important not just for the newest features and content, but also for fixing bugs and improving stability. Developers regularly release updates to sort out known problems and ensure the game runs well on various platforms. If you don’t update, you might run into bugs or crashes that could ruin your gaming fun.
Even though Minecraft updates should happen on their own, it’s always a good idea to check for updates yourself, especially if you’re having trouble with the game. Automatic updates might not work because of things like internet issues or store problems. Checking for updates yourself makes sure you’re using the newest version of Minecraft available.
How often to update Minecraft
Developers usually release Minecraft updates every few months, but this can vary based on the edition and the platform. It’s a good idea to check for updates now and then and update your game as soon as you can to avoid problems from using an outdated version.
Years after its release, Minecraft remains one of the most beloved survival games in the world, with over 131 million active users as of February 2021. It regularly gets updated so that you can enjoy new features, improvements, and bug fixes.
It means that, if you want to take advantage of the latest game content, you should frequently update Minecraft. Unfortunately, many users have trouble updating Minecraft on Windows 10, so we’re here to set things straight and help you every step of the way.
It depends on which game edition you have installed: Minecraft Java Edition or Minecraft for Windows 10. Either way, the update steps are incredibly simple and should not impose any difficulties whatsoever.
It’s easy to update Minecraft on other platforms, too, as confirmed by the Minecraft Help Center. The most significant difference is that, since the Java edition supports mods, there’s a small possibility that an update will break the mods and you will have to reinstall them.
Java edition
The Minecraft Java version doesn’t actually involve an updating operation since the update is performed automatically every time you open the Minecraft Launcher and connect to the Internet.
Nevertheless, you can be certain that you are always running the latest update with a simple trick:
- Open the Minecraft Launcher
- Click the dropdown menu next to the Play button
- Select Latest release
- Click Play
It’s a good idea to stay away from the Latest snapshot edition. Although it might get you a bit closer to new Minecraft features, it’s not worth it. Snapshot versions are typically unstable, so it might end up crashing your game.
Microsoft Store version
The Minecraft app for Windows 10 should also get updated automatically, every time Microsoft Store connects to the Internet or when your computer is in standby mode. In case that doesn’t happen on your PC, here’s how to perform a manual update:
- Press the Win key, search for Microsoft Store, and open this app
- Click the More button (three dots) on the top-right corner
- Go to Downloads and updates
- At Available updates, locate the Minecraft app and click the download button next to it
- Alternatively, you can click Get updates to update all your Microsoft Store apps

- Go down to the bottom of the screen
- Click Uninstall and then again to confirm
- Launch Microsoft Store
- Search for Minecraft and click Install. It will automatically install the latest version
7. Reinstall Minecraft Java Edition
Minecraft Java Edition can be reinstalled the traditional way: removing them from the list of installed applications and then downloading and installing the tool again. You don’t need to also reinstall Java.
- Right-click the Start button and go to Apps and Features
