Help please (Minecraft update not working)
Ever since the 1.17 update caves and cliffs part 1 was released, I could not sign in for some reason, then I tried searching for other things to help but didn't come across anything that works. I also seemed to notice the same cycle happening again and again, I did the installer, it started of fine, but then it suddenly says "The file updater.exe is not marked for installation" and I am wondering what is updater.exe and why it is causing so much problems on my computer. One theory is that I have not upgraded to windows 11, but I have checked and it probably does not matter, it's just that it will be 1.17.5 on windows 11. Then the installer just annoyingly ends and I haven't been able to play Minecraft ever since the problem began. I installed desktop version so that might be why but I cannot find Minecraft Edu on Microsoft store it does not have the app so it is just frustrating. Please fix this because I want to go back to playing once again.

I am on a windows 7 desktop but here is how I fixed that issue.
I uninstalled Minecraft, and whenever I would try to install the new version I would get the same error. So, I went to a hidden folder called C:\ProgramData and deleted the Microsoft Studios subfolder. When I ran the installer again, updater.exe did not cause a fatal crash to the installation. I don't know if it will work for you, just telling you what worked for me.0 -

it won't let me delete the file since the MinecraftUpdater.exe service is using it, restart the pc and disable the service and it won't let me because it's like I'm still using it0
