I can download the exe file but when I try to sign in it says "this operation requires elevation". I have a certified school account and I'm trying to use Minecraft at school

  This sounds like you will need to run the installer as an administrator. Try moving the installer file to a new location on your device then right click it and select the option to run as administrator. Hope this helps~

  I've Tried this and it didn't work, the same error code pops up. I remember someone else installed it but it wasn't an exe file, it was something different with a completely different launcher. I'm wondering if Minecraft doesn't think I have a certified school account and I was wondering if you could fix that.

  Hey Liam,

  Are you on a Windows device?

  It could be worth backing up your worlds, then uninstalling and reinstalling the Windows Store version from here:
