    Hi Osmany, 

    Sorry to hear you're having difficulties. 

    This issue is usually caused on Windows 10 laptops when there are two installs of Minecraft Education Edition installed. 

    Go to Start>Settings>Apps. 

    Look for Minecraft Education Edition; there should be two listed. Click on and uninstall the oldest one. 

    This should resolve your problem. 

    If you don't have access to these settings, you'll need to reach out to your school's IT people. 

    Let us know how you make out!

    Hello Dan Noble, I've uninstalled the other version of Minecraft Education Edition but it still says the same. :c

    I'd try restarting the computer, and see if that helps.

    I'd uninstall the other Minecraft installation on the computer, the install again from here: 

    Download | Minecraft: Education Edition

    I'm not able to uninstall it, it says I need administrator permissions.

    You'll need to contact your school's IT team for support.

    Alright, thank you for letting me now. I'll get back to you when the IT team uninstalls it.

    No problem! Have them install the latest version while they're at it, and if they have any issues they can put in a support ticket with us here: Submit a request – Minecraft: Education Edition Support

    I have the same problem but on home PC. Hubby solved this for me (wish I could take the credit)
    PROBLEM
    From Windows Start Icon. Two or more versions of MEE listed. Right click to uninstall only shows one instance. Uninstall and reinstall does not solve the problem.
    SOLUTION

    Click Windows icon > Settings > Apps and Features> Right click uninstall the extra / unwanted version.

    The same thing happened to me too, but on a chrome book. 

    All the things you guys did didn't work for me.

    I had this problem!

    you need to run the app as an admin if all else fails.

    hope this helps.

    Were you able to try running as an admin to see if that helped?

  • So I'm my school's "guinea pig" with MEE and we have really tight restrictions on the internet. The IT support got rid of the restrictions for me but it still came up. I tried at home because I have better internet there but it kept coming up. Please reply ASAP as I need this for an assignment that's 25% of my DT marks.
