Error code 800705b4 when launching minecaft java from launcher

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues launching Minecraft Java from the Launcher.

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



Please restart your computer because a simple restart can sometimes clear temporary issues.

And then update the Minecraft Launcher. Make sure that you have the latest version of the Minecraft Launcher installed. Check for updates in the Microsoft Store or the official Minecraft website.

Please include Java as well by making sure that you have the latest version of Java installed. Minecraft Java Edition requires a compatible Java runtime.

Next is to run as administrator. To do this, right-click on the Minecraft Launcher icon, select Properties, go to the Compatibility tab, and check Run this program as an administrator.

Then disable background applications. Please close unnecessary background applications that might interfere with the launcher.

After that is to repair the Launcher by going to Settings > Apps > Minecraft Launcher and select Repair.

If the issue persist after performing the troubleshooting steps, kindly uninstall and reinstall the launcher so that the corrupted files will be deleted from the Launcher file.

Thank you for your cooperation.

If the launcher is available for the Mac, then you won't need to purchase Java edition, as the game is included with Game Pass Ultimate anyway. If you log in with the account you got ultimate with, then you can launch the Java edition from the launcher.

Hello mimim2,

The Minecraft launcher you are referring to is only for the Java edition of Minecraft. The Java edition and Windows 10, are two separate games. In order to launch and play Minecraft from the launcher you are using in the last image, you must buy the Java
edition from the site, not the Windows 10 version. Minecraft Java Edition | Minecraft. Annoying I know, but when Microsoft acquired Minecraft they released
their own version of the game on their platform. Hope this helps
