Hello Georgina, my name is Zahir.

I would assume you are trying to download on a windows pc.

You will have to install the minecraft launcher first.

To play Minecraft: Java Edition, download and install the correct launcher for your operating system. Sign into the Launcher using your Microsoft account, and you will be able to run Java Edition.

To play Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, you will need a device running Windows 10 or 11 to download and install the newest version of the Launcher, within which you can launch and play Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. Sign into the Launcher using your Microsoft account, and you will be able to run Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues with Minecraft Bedrock not launching.

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

Please end task in task manager. To do this, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager. Locate Minecraft (Bedrock Edition) in the list. Right-click it and select End Task. Restart the launcher and try again.

And then run Minecraft as administrator because permissions issues might be preventing it from launching properly.

Right-click the Minecraft Launcher shortcut. Select Run as Administrator.

Launch Minecraft Bedrock again.

Next is to reset the Minecraft Launcher going to Settings > Apps > Installed Apps. Find Minecraft Launcher, click the three dots (⋮), and select Advanced Options. Scroll down and click Reset.

Restart your PC and launch Minecraft again.

Then check for Windows updates because an outdated system files might cause game launch issues. Please go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. Click Check for Updates and install any pending updates.

After that is to verify and repair Minecraft. To do this, open the Microsoft Store.

Go to Library > Installed Apps. Find Minecraft Bedrock Edition, click Manage > Verify and Repair Files.

Wait for the repair process to complete, then launch the game once again.

If Discord detects Minecraft running but it won’t show, possible that other apps might be interfering. Close unnecessary applications before launching Minecraft.

Kindly disable Discord overlays by going to Discord Settings > Game Overlay and turn it off.

Once done performing the troubleshooting steps and still the issue persist, please uninstall Minecraft. Redownload and install Minecraft Bedrock from Minecraft.net: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us.

Thank you for your cooperation.
