    Minecraft launcher freezing upon trying to sign in


    I'm on windows 11 and i've been having an issue with the minecraft launcher for a while now where it'll get to the point that it asks me to sign in, but rather than the microsoft account sign-in page popping up, nothing happens. The button becomes 'unclickable' and the loading circle next to the cursor that signified that something was happening dissipated after only a second. Theres no pop up or error message, the button just freezes.



    I've tried waiting and leaving the launcher to see if the sign-in button becomes clickable again, uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times from both the microsoft store and the minecraft website, terminating and repairing from the app settings, signing in and out from my own microsoft account, checking the app permissions, and uninstalling the apps that were joint to it. There's definitely some more things I haven't tried but id rather get a direct recommendation at this point.

    :)

    Minecraft launcher freezing when I try to sign in

    Hi DSmtih, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I am sorry to hear that.

    Is this only happening with the Minecraft Game?

    First, check your time settings, and set it to automatic.

    Press the Windows Key + X > Settings > Time & language > Date & time > Enable "Set Timezone Automatically" and "Set Time Automatically".

    Afterward, make sure your Windows is updated:

    Then, reset the Microsoft Store:

    Press the Windows Key + R

    Type WSReset.exe and press Enter.

    Afterwards, please, download the Gaming Services Repair tool: https://aka.ms/GamingRepairTool

    Once downloaded, execute the file by right-clicking on it and selecting Run as Administrator.

    Follow the prompts and check if the issue was resolved.

    Moving on from there, reset your network settings:

    Please, follow these steps:

    Press Windows Key + X > Settings > Network & Internet > Advanced Network Settings > Network Reset > Reset Now.

    Let me know if it works!

    Hello DSmtih,

    OK! I will wait for your reply.

    Good luck.

    Regarding the Xbox App, is it the one on your PC or mobile?

    Minecraft Compromised Account

    I am using the following website: https://hypixel.paniek.de/player/6538db5abf3a47a79f2f86b3057b350d/status to see that they are using my minecraft account to access the hypixel server. Furthermore, on my own side with my device, changing username, gamertag, password or using the force all sign out on microsoft security settings has not made my own minecraft launcher force me to sign in again, it simply uses the fact that its been logged in before and still lets me just press play and access any servers without a need to re-enter details. This seems like a vital security issue as a change in password should cause all minecraft launchers to sign out. Since then, I have also tried it on my friend's PC, where upon changing the password, it still allowed me to access my minecraft account from his launcher without needing to re-enter details there as well. For some reason the basic minecraft launcher does not require a re-entry of login details upon account password change.

    Cheers

    Open the folder and double-click the "Minecraft Launcher" file.
