Constant Minecraft Launcher problems wherever I go

Hey Joshua, I’m really sorry you’ve had to deal with all this! It sounds super annoying on top of losing power.

You’ve already tried a lot, which shows how patient you’ve been. One more thing you might try is creating a new Windows user account and installing the launcher there. Sometimes user profile issues can cause problems like this, and a fresh profile might help.

If that doesn’t solve it, reaching out to Minecraft Support would be the best next step.

I hope you get back to enjoying Minecraft soon! If you have any other questions, please let me know. You're always welcome here on the Xbox forum!

Another suggestion, make a live.com or gmail.com email account before you go. Set it as your email alias at https://account.microsoft.com This will stay as a constant wherever
you move, making it easier to change and verify your account.

Also, there is another problem.

Sometimes, when I try to install Minecraft Launcher from Microsoft Store, and then ( the problem happens ), it causes problems too when I try to download other apps, they get the same problem ( Loading then Ending with a problem " Try again Later, Something happened on our end ". That happened with me twice, but I did reset to Microsoft Store and then it got fixed ( except the Minecraft Launcher ). Yesterday, while I was trying to install the game without having the other Minecraft Launchers, Minecraft Launcher's problem wasn't solved and also, and then when I tried to download some other app, the problem of the slow download was back again, then when I tried to do reset Microsoft Store for another time, it wasn't fixing anything.

Is there any way to fix that Minecraft Launcher's problem? I think it's influencing badly on other apps.

Okay so i fixed the problem...still, the vanilla minecraft wont run from "true minecraft launcher", but it will thru 3rd party launcher (such as badlion). So yea...that was my fix...
