When i go onto the launcher for bedrock it doesn't automatically update. When i try join a realm i get "outdated client" error message. No update shows on Microsoft store or xbox app I had the same problem on the previous update to 1.20.72 I had to find the file for the update online and manually update the game, With the update coming out today i am struggling to find the file online to do that workaround again. A bit irritating if i need to do this everytime there is an update

Updates to Windows can take up to 48 hours as the Microsoft Store processes the update.
Please check back in 48 hours and see if you can update the game then.
Like i said had this problem when i first started playing then update 1.20.72 came out, Had this issue for about 2 weeks before i found the download online to update the game myself. So based off my previous experience not holding onto much hope. is there not a way to get a manual download for the update?
There's no manual download method but the update should rollout to everyone on windows within 48 hours. You're not the only one waiting for the update on windows rest assured.
Most other games have their update available automatically when they add it to their store... Why does it take UP TO 48 HOURS???????
Please see if you can now update.
Please also do the following and see if it works for you:
1) Press Windows Key + R
2) Type “wsreset.exe”
3) Check for updates in the store
Why is this resolved? I tried those 3 steps, but still fails with: "Something happened on our end." in the store.
The "check for updates" button in the Windows Xbox app doesn't even attempt to do anything.
The "Update" button in the Minecraft Launcher starts an update attempt, then either stalls (need to close launcher), or fails, and then can just Play as 1.20.73.
That sounds like something community support can help resolve.

Attempted all fresh installs (Launcher, game, Microsoft Store).

Really need the update files to be made available on Minecraft.net for manual installation.
