About this video: Sadly, it can be a little difficult to update Minecraft Bedrock on PC. The reason of this is that you can’t change and select versions like you can on Java Edition. However, in this video, we are going to show you exactly how to up Minecraft Bedrock on PC in order to make sure you are always on the most up-to-date version of Minecraft.

First things, first, it is worth noting that Minecraft Bedrock should update automatically as soon as you open it. You can check what version of Minecraft Bedrock for Windows you are playing by looking in the bottom right of the Minecraft main menu when you open it. If this isn’t the most recent version though, there are a few things to try to force Minecraft Bedrock to update.

Before anything else, let’s try to update Minecraft Bedrock for PC using the Microsoft Store. Do this by opening up the Microsoft Store on your PC, click the three dots in the top-right corner, and click “Download and Updates”. From there, select “Get updates” and all of the applications on your computer, including Minecraft, should begin updating.

The other way to force Minecraft Bedrock PC to update is using the Xbox App. With the Xbox App open, hover over Minecraft in the ‘Installed’ section on the right-hand side, select the three dots that appear, and click view details. Then, click the three dots on the next page and click Manage. Finally, click ‘Files’, and click the ‘Check For Updates’ button. Minecraft, if it needs updating, should update.

It is worth noting though that Minecraft Bedrock PC should not be out of date. It is meant to update automatically when you open Minecraft, and sometimes even just restarting your PC can fix Minecraft Bedrock not updating on Windows.

Your video was 0 to 100 real quick but you got me the simplest answer in the shortest period of time. Greatly appreciate, wish other YouTube help videos were like this.

Thank you so much, this did the trick. My son was desperate to play online with a friend. For some reason our version on PC was a few patches behind. Anyway followed your video and doing the update all in the Microsoft store fixed it 🎉🎉🎉.

Hey, Breakdown! Recently I have had problems with something that I doubt you're familiar with, but There's something called LiquidBounce NextGen and I don't know how to download it. It includes Fabric API, and you're familiar with that. I'd just like a tutorial on how to download it. Thanks!

I haven’t played minecraft bedrock in a while and I have wanted to but my game isn’t updated. I am still on 1.17.40 and while trying to update to 1.20.10 or 1.20.12 it says error or problem on our end when trying to update. Now I can’t play on any other servers, and I can’t play with friends. I have tried to repair Microsoft store but it hasn’t worked. If anyone would like to help that would be appreciated.
