    Issue with Minecraft Launcher


    Subject: Issue with Minecraft Launcher



    Dear Microsoft Support Team,



    I am writing to seek assistance regarding an issue I am encountering with the Minecraft Launcher.



    Recently, I attempted to open the Launcher to play Minecraft, but I received an error message stating, "Cannot open Minecraft Launcher because it cannot be found. The storage device may be missing or disconnected." This has prevented me from accessing the game, and I am unsure how to resolve this issue.



    I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to troubleshoot this problem. If there are any specific steps I should follow or if there are known solutions for this error, please let me know. Additionally, if there are any requirements for system updates or software installations that I might have overlooked, I would be grateful for your advice.



    Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your prompt response so that I can continue enjoying Minecraft.



    Best regards,

    :)

    Error: Multiplayer is disabled please check your microsoft account settings.

    It means that it's just an issue with the Minecraft launcher. Kindly uninstall it and then reinstall the launcher from Xbox App.

    Hello SquabbleWubble,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



    We understand that you are trying to play Minecraft and you were having issues with the launcher and game. Let us check on this together and sort this out in timely manner for you to get back to gaming.



    There are two ways to install Minecraft Launcher, first is through Microsoft Store (Minecraft Launcher) and second is through Minecraft website (Download Minecraft & Server Software | Minecraft). Since you have issues with Minecraft Launcher, we recommend your try to uninstall the launchers you have installed and make sure you are using the correct account on Microsoft Store.

    Then, visit Minecraft website to check your account that should show no Buy now option for any of the game versions of Minecraft (Login | Minecraft).

    Next, try to install the Minecraft Launcher from the Microsoft Store and see if issue persist.

    The last resort is to download the launcher and install it from Minecraft website. See if issue persist for the game.



    We look forward to your response.

    Minecraft Legacy Launcher Wont Open, "Unable to Update Native Launcher"

    Hi, Jenna. I appreciate you trying the steps. If the issue still persists, it would be best to coordinate with Minecraft team again since it’s an issue with the launcher. The Minecraft launcher on MS store will only work on Windows 10 or 11. Sorry

    Forge crashes

    Hello Gavyn [Goopi],

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



    We understand that you are trying to play Minecraft with all of your modification, and it is crashing. If official Minecraft Launcher will launch with no issues, then adding modification should result no issues too.

    Should you face issues with Minecraft Launcher you may try the troubleshooting here: Minecraft Launcher Troubleshooting FAQ | Minecraft Help.



    If official Minecraft Launcher works, then you may want to consider reaching out to the Forge community or posting on their forums for further assistance.



    Sincerely,
