Minecraft Launcher has always been that shit with a tons of issues that never get really fixed. Its sad we dont have another good option to use unless the pvp clients

[RG]

the problem for my buddy is that the launcher opens but it wont install the update to play java. is there something that needs to be fix?

[oliverm.k]

this is one of the better tutorials ive ever seen, clear instructions, no unneeded edits and it works perfectly. also comes with a lot of solutions instead of just saying "just reinstall minecraft" thanks man!

I know this is 6 months ago but thanks for getting to the point and not screaming at us

[Chaserthebaser]

THIS WORKED! THANK YOU SO MUCH! This deserves a like.

Repairing gaming services seemed to fix it for me, Thanks mate!

Ty bro got my pc yesterday and it was running fine till today where the launcher just straight up would not open. Thank you so much man!

My launcher just purely doesn't even show a sign of opening. The swirly blue bar shows up for a second, but disappears. There isn't even a way to get into the launcher's advanced options on my computer. It just has a greyed out "modify" and an uninstall button. Edit: I found the repair in the startup wizard. It says that windows isn't able to find/compute a certain file. This happens with no other app.

Haven’t tried this yet but just wanted to say that this is one hell of a video! The instructions sound very clear and there isn’t a super long intro! 👍

Amazing thank you. I have been reading different forums trying to fix the game but they are always full of technical terms that mean nothing to me :) will come back to this video next time I have issues

[limbothelost]

Omg! Thank you so much! I been struggling to make my launcher work for 2 days and I had to resort to using forge till now. But now it finally works!

[Wenterue]

[SteadyEddyyy]

Repairing the two apps worked for me! Thanks a ton!

Is this just for java edition or bedrock to? I can't play java edition like I was able to before microsoft screwed us. I can play bedrock just fine. I bought the game so I should have both java and bedrock editions. I think I have it anyways.
