I literally just pre-ordered purchased Minecraft Dungeons II deluxe edition for my windows 10 OS Laptop on friday 09/25/2026 ;
However, right after purchasing Minecraft Dungeons II deluxe edition, and relaunching my windows OS' Minecraft Launcher; the launcher app now incorrectly shows both bedrock edition and preview edition as waiting to download; depite already being downloaded. The buttons to launch are inaccesable. I tried re-installing all my mincraft games, including the launcher, and it seems to not have yielded any difference; both bedrock edition and preview edtion simply show as attempting to download despite already being installed and updated. Thankfully I did find a work around, isntead launching either of these editions from either using the Xbox app or directly from the windows OS start men; yet curiously, the minecraft launcher app is still showing the bug. Specifically Bedrock edition's launch button in the app is stuck on “…”, and preview edition’s launch button in the lancher app is stuck on “waiting to downlaod”. while the java edtion tab contents in the launcher app isn’t showing any signs of bugs; just the regular bedrock edition and preview edition beta - and I still can launch both from outside the launcher app, just not with-in it.
Side notes: I'm still running windows 10 on my laptop as it has an intel i7 11th gen mobile cpu and a 3060 nvidia mobile gpu; more specifically not the 2nd edition 11th gen intel mobile cpu that is more optimized, but the prior less optimized 11th gen moble cpu that runs a bit hotter; even on windows 10, and especially on windows 11. I did give windows 11 a try but it was a bit much for the P core only intel cpu; not only did it run especially hot, many of my older games especially those before windows 8 and 7 (vista, XP, 98, 95, 3.1) had either stopped launching or kept crashing-windows without my library of childhood games of math blaster, oragon trail, spelling jungle, and my imported visual novels I played in my older youth and beyond; several of them still need windows 10 to be patched to correctly play them as even with work arounds they show issues on that newer OS, but a good handfull are still playable. microsoft has yet to provide a soludtion for older games that incorrectly go wide screen in windowed full screen mode or full screen mode; after intel blocked/ temoved that specific feature from their graphics app when an older intel cpu is used with the intel graphics app; despite the respective older cpu advertised to be able to both auto correct older games resolution & anti-alising smoothing, as well have the feature of lowering tessellation in the background field of 3D games that simulate a word to better provide optimal expeirance - all these features are baked into the cpu’s hardware, and advertised as a feature for customers to buy the product, and they literally blocked the feature from being accesable on such hardware their software to urge users to buy newer hardware. if you can please ask miscrosoft to have a upcoming windows 10 build to have the conserve tessellation option; as well as resolution correction and anti-alaising correction for older games from the p core cpu to be re-instated as part of windows 10 features and not needing a third party app that would lock people out of such features to force them into buying another product, despite their current hardware actually working fine and just needing the software to do the rest. I will update both when I have the money, which i often don’t and when I see hardware options that allow me to play most to all my vintage and other classic library of games. I know what features my hardware support, despite many of these modern software’s are attempting to make them inaccessible; despite me paying for the hardware for the specific reason to support such features. please, pass on to microsoft; intel’s propriotary graphics software is shady, and they need to step in to have the OS instead unlock the CPU’s features that are literally already baked into it. (this issue isn’t just an issue with my older games, as without the features unlocked the more modern minecraft games seem to have less fps and/or use more or less power than it should be using.)
Environment
windows 10 pro build 19045.7725
Update: after Dungeons 2 was installed, on launch day it does not show as launchable from the launcher, it just says I already own it; as well as both bedrock and preview editions' tabs show them their launch button as still attempting to download despite already being downloaded. I can launch dungeons 2, bedrock edition, and preview edtion from my laptop either the xbox app or from the start menu; but only Java version can currently be launched from the app “Minecraft Launcher”. the app needs to be corrected, perhaps its related to region stuff. official minecraft games are the only thing I’ve ever purchased from the xbox store, and get most my other games directly from japan with no associated “platfrom” The launcher I have didn';t have an issue registering that both bedrock or preview edition were already installed, not until I bought dungeons 2.
