Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues with launching Minecraft.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Please run as administrator. To do this, right-click the Minecraft Launcher and select Run as Administrator.

And then launch the game in windowed mode instead of fullscreen. Open Minecraft Launcher > Settings. Locate the Fullscreen option and disable it.

There are programs interfere with Minecraft’s startup like overlays from Discord, GeForce Experience, or MSI Afterburner. Please disable them and launch the game again.

Next is to repair Minecraft by going to Settings > Apps > Installed apps or Apps & Features. Find Minecraft Launcher, click Advanced Options, and hit Repair.

Then roll back graphics drivers. Kindly open Device Manager. Expand Display Adapters and right-click your GPU. Select Properties > Driver tab > Roll Back Driver if it is available.

After that is to check for corrupted system files. Do this by opening Command Prompt as Administrator. Type: sfc /scannow and press Enter.

Restart your PC after the scan is complete.

When Minecraft refuses to run, right-click MinecraftLauncher.exe > Properties > Compatibility. Enable Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows 8 or an earlier version. Click Apply and launch the game again.

If the issue persist after performing the troubleshooting steps, kindly uninstall and then reinstall Minecraft. In order for the corrupted files will be deleted. Make sure to back up everything before uninstalling the game.

Thank you for your cooperation.
