An update: This machine's Minecraft is still unable to get to any of the network services: Store, Realms, etc.
I'm not, to my knowledge, trying to do anything X-Boxy, can you give me some more specific suggestions?
Hi Don,
I'm a little confused - I'm not an XBox user. I don't own one. I don't see anything at that link about Minecraft either?
I've checked out C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\ but there's no log files that I can find. The resource_packs and world_templates folders are also empty, which is weird because I have resource packs and world templates that I can view inside the game in the Storage section.
The store page does not show my current Minecoin balance either, not that this is surprising given the connectivity problems.
Yes, it does. Thanks for providing the link to the parent issue.
Hi Jay,
Thanks for the suggestion, interestingly it turned up that I can't actually access the windows 10 store either, and a quick investigation shows that all my UWP applications are stuck offline, unable to detect my network connection. Clearly this isn't actually a Minecraft-specific issue.
One suggestion was to ensure IPV6 was enabled, as UWP store apps can't connect unless it is (Even if you're on an exclusively IPV4 network) - in my case it is enabled and I can connect via IPV6 to various sites.
I have finally managed to fix my issue, by ensuring my machine is marked as discoverable on the network and can do network discovery - apparently this also causes UWP applications to not bother checking for the internet. I'm putting htis here incase another Minecraft user has the same problem.
