Hi, I am getting the error message. I've tried repairing and reset it multiple times but it still hasn't worked. I am getting the error message and I am running minecraft on a Microsoft Windows 11 PC. This issue has started in march of 2023. I tried running it as administrator but it it just says downloading manifest but the bar doesn't go up and it gives me the "Couldn't update the minecraft native launcher" The .minecraft folder is non-existent and when you re-install minecraft the .minecraft folder does not pop up. (I couldn't reply because I have been busy)

I'd suggest you contact Minecraft support for further troubleshooting.

Hello Jan,

Nilay here and I'm glad to answer your query today.

The easiest solution is to reinstall Minecraft, but if this doesn't do the trick, you can reset the Microsoft Store. Press the “Windows key + R” combination. Type “WSReset” in the “Open:” box, then click “OK” or press “Enter.” Reopen the “Minecraft Launcher.”

Alternatively you can follow this https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/6662588435597-Minecraft-Launcher-Troubleshooting-FAQ- link and troubleshooting guide there to get the fix.

Good Luck
Regards
